Verdict

RING EYE has yet to win over hurdles but was only caught close home over track and trip last time and it could finally be his turn today. Flying Verse won a novices’ handicap here in May but never figured off today’s higher mark on his latest start and The Lion Man also scored over track and trip before struggling at Uttoxeter. West To Crossgales had been threatening to win before a below par effort here behind the selection and Beautiful People returns to action with Richard Johnson on board.
