Verdict
Flat winner Twelve Strings has shown little so far over hurdles. Taunton second In The Crowd has already been beaten in sellers this season while L'Assommoir has his first run for Richard Rowe after a break. Flying Light is a chaser but Brave Helios must have some sort of chance having been dropped another 5lb since his latest run. ASSIREM's Sedgefield conqueror Discoverie won again off a 6lb higher mark earlier this week so Ben Pauling's charge must go close here with the ground in his favour.
