Gripper has placed here several times but has had plenty of chances. PASLEY is 0-12 over timber but was rated 119 at this time last year and now races off 102. If a short break has revived enthusiasm, he has a decent chance in an uncompetitive affair. Scullys Forge has run well here the last twice and looks a danger while Taking Flight will almost certainly have needed last month’s run at Hexham.
