The Wee Midget and Hereditary were both all out to get their heads in front last time and will do well to repeat off higher marks today. Patrixbourne scored at Sedgefield when last seen at the track but that was in June last year and his fitness has to be taken on trust, while Allonby Bay showed ability in a couple of starts over hurdles back in 2009 and has his first start for nearly two years. However, SHROPSHIRELASS posted a couple of placed efforts here last month and she gets the vote stepping up to a distance that should suit.
