Verdict

This will take some getting in the conditions and though Bellamy's Grey ran well at Fontwell he has a big weight and hasn't proved he stays the trip. Lizzie Langton has no problems staying though she could find the ground too testing unlike distance winner Mount Oliver, though the latter has a very long absence to overcome. Troed Y Melin was a 66/1 chance when headed on the run-in over 2m7f here last time and a similar run should see him in the frame but Max O has never won under Rules. Five-times hurdles winner Mogestic hasn't had much experience over fences so a chance is taken on KILCREA BRIDGE, who is back on the same mark as when scoring over 3m at Exeter on heavy ground a year ago.
