Verdict

Ballinahow Bill was favourite at Hexham but fell and is now 0-17 under Rules. Refusal has won three times between the flags this year and landed a maiden at Cartmel last month so goes on the short-list. Steeles Terrace also arrives in good form and the mare Pique Rock is another to consider along with Sarah Bowen’s Mirs Choice. CARYTO DES BROSSES was headed right on the line when trying to complete a five-timer in an Open at Garthorpe last month. These fences aren’t the biggest and he may be a worth a bet on his first run under Rules.
