The filly My Escapade remains winless on the Flat and over hurdles and looks worth opposing here off top weight. District Attorney went close at Sedgefield last month but has been raised 3lb, though should be in the firing-line. Roll Of Thunder has been beaten twice off this mark since scoring at Hexham in June, when Stand Clear was behind, while Slaney Star and Attention Please lacks a recent run. NABURN has yet to place in four tries over hurdles but did run his best race here in May. A winner over 1m6f on the Flat, he may still be good enough to take advantage of this sort of mark in a poor race.
