Verdict
SWORD OF FATE is 5lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but the 10-year-old arrives in peak form again so a repeat may be on the cards. Izzy's Champion is better off at the weights than when beaten by Shanbally Rose here last autumn and has the stronger recent form. Friary Rock, a previous course and distance winner, would certainly have a chance if fully wound-up and Spark Of Madness has won here over 2m. Azof Des Mottes won at Kelso last month but Mrs Paisley and Broadway Joe have been out of sorts.
