Verdict
CROSSPARK won a novice hurdle here on his debut under Rules and has already scored between the flags so the switch to fences should suit and he can make the most of the weight he receives from Keltus, who had to be ridden right out at Hexham 10 days ago but still finished well clear of Make Me A Fortune, and Anteros. The latter tries again over the larger obstacles after a spell back over timber. Ballyrock is jumping fences late in life and Ruaraidh Hugh is also chasing for the first time and returns from a break.
