Verdict
No form of any note to assess and the market should be the best signpost for punters with the majority of the field facing the starter for the first time. The two Irish raiders make most appeal with SIMPLE ASSIGNMENT getting the tentative vote on pedigree. Ronnie O'Leary enjoys a healthy strike rate with his select number of bumper runners in this country of 31 per cent over the past five years and his Westerner gelding won't be visiting the north of England for the good of his health. Stuart Crawford boasts an even better strike rate in bumpers over here of 33 per cent with 19 winners from 57 runners so Charlie Breekie must be taken very seriously. Kaylan's Vote is a hopeful choice for the minor placing.
