Golans Choice looks capable of reversing Hexham running with Moorlands Mist on 8lb better terms but may not be able to cope with CALIN DU BRIZAIS (NAP), who has been in good form over fences lately and reverts to hurdles on a 10lb lower mark with regular rider Kieran Buckley’s claim a further plus – Nigel Hawke’s raiders have a good strike-rate here. Broadway Belle was a clear-cut winner over track and trip back in March but is now 20lb higher having won at Hexham subsequently. Handy Hollow has also won twice this year but looked a few pounds too high when third last time at Kelso. You're So Right has scope but is upped in trip having a first run for new connections.
