All bar Keeper make some appeal, although Shalott may need this after a 390-day absence. Treasured Company is best watched too as he's not been seen for just under a year when pulling up at Hexham. The pair would be of interest if returning to something like their best and the betting may guide in that respect. The form of Uggy Uggy Uggy's last two runs is not entirely convincing, although he is making steady progress and now moves into handicaps for the first time. Izayte kept on steadily to score at Warwick in May but failed to fire when attempting to follow up at the same venue. He's a possible but LIGHTENING COMPANY(NAP) has shown promise on both hurdling starts, has been contesting good-quality handicaps on the Flat and has a strong chance if transferring that ability to this discipline.
