      Verdict

      Leicester winner DOUBLE MEAD has the best form of these and arrives on the back of a recent win in a point-to-point. She can take advantage of today's favourable terms and looks likely to start at a short-price. Blaze Ahead was pulled-up on his recent reappearance but won one of these events at the end of last season, while Pass The Parsel had unseated his rider on his debut over regulation fences but scored over 2m6f here last April. He could go well if fully recovered from his recent fall in a point-to-point, and Ballygalley Bob is not without a chance having been in good form between the flags recently.
