Verdict

Scots Dragoon is on a winning mark over hurdles and an outing over fences at Ffos Las last month will have blown away a few cobwebs. Frosted Grape is equally versatile and returned to winning ways over C&D eight days ago. Her penalty will life tough today, however, while Minella Bliss looks harshly treated for his victory in a novice event at Hereford. Pheidias, Calypso Bay and Mtpockets all return from a spell on the sidelines and this trip is the minimum requirement for Pairc Na Gcapall so we'll give the vote to ELY BROWN. Rachel Hobbs' charge wasn't disgraced under a penalty at Worcester on his latest start and starts off life in handicap company on a decent mark.
