None of these make much appeal on recent form though GUNNER LINDLEY has been placed over track and trip on numerous occasions this year and it could finally be his turn today. Snowed In was third here last time but beaten out of sight and Louloumills finished a distance behind the winner when runner-up at Hexham. Anton Dolin is on a decent mark if back to his best while Fiddler's Flight went close over these hurdles back in February and would figure in this company with a similar effort.
