Verdict

Knockara Beau enjoyed his finest hour when beating At Fishers Cross and Big Buck's in the Cleeve Hurdle here in January but he isn't getting any younger. The ground and longer trip will count against Uttoxeter winner Grandads Horse but Return Spring won twice here last season and goes well fresh. On The Record has been in fine form over the summer but it would be no surprise if Milan Bound proved the pick of Jonjo O'Neill's trio at the weights. Henryville, San Telm and Chill Factor are other recent winners but the former has gone up another 9lb since his Fontwell success and is unproven at the trip - the latter is 8lb wrong in the weights despite a penalty. CLARA MC CLOUD was no match for the progressive Little King Robin over 2m4f at Gowran at the start of the month but she'll be better suited by this stamina test. Providing a busy schedule isn't taking its toll, Gordon Elliott's mare should be thereabouts again here.
