Verdict

Mighty Whitey won over fences at Downpatrick in June but has been well beaten over hurdles more recently. Sergeant Pink hasn't really been threatening but Qoubilai is capable on his day and was beaten less than a length at Bangor nine days ago. ALLANARD has his ground and jumps well in the main. He was second in this last year following a break and can go one better now though Clondaw Knight has scope for further progress this season and Mister Wall Street has a terrific record here and has been eased a couple of pounds since his latest fourth at Sedgefield.
