Verdict

ME JULIE is a tidy front-runner when on-song and she's fancied to put her rivals to the sword from the flag fall. Although pulled up on her reappearance at the track, she is fancied to come on plenty for that outing and now returned to fences she is only 3lb higher than her Fffos Las romp a year ago. Sir Peter stays well so might find the drop in trip against him, course winner Ballymorn has stamina to prove on this return, whilst Wide Receiver is hit-and-miss but not out of things following a Chepstow disappointment. Romney Marsh looks attractively handicapped back over fences, and along with Nawow and the returning Walk Tall he is hard to discount in a competitive handicap.
