Verdict
Voice Of Hope has placed in three of his eight chase starts to date but STRIKING OUT looks the one to be on. He’s been rather harshly raised 4lb for a narrow defeat in an amateur riders’ race at Ludlow last month but Brian Hughes takes over the reins on the nine-year-old. Divas Doyen was one of only two finishers at Kelso in May but had filled the same position at Musselburgh earlier, though Carlisle third Breeze Of Wind has more scope.
