A huge entry considering the modest prize money on offer. ARISTOCRACY possibly found 3m3f a shade too far at Sedgefield after only going down by a short head at Bangor. Fergal O’Brien’s charge probably deserves another chance ahead of recent Hexham runner-up Western Jo and Pretty Rose, who has had a break and has struggled over this sort of trip in the past. Kings Eclipse is another having a first run in a while but Stonemadforspeed and Mileva Roller have place claims.
