Verdict

Ballylifen finally got off the mark over a shorter trip at Uttoxeter and James Huxham again takes off 10lb. Danners has claims on a close-up second at Fontwell and is tried in blinkers while Green Bank was third on his reappearance at Chepstow and will strip fitter here. ARKOSE has yet to win over fences but is well treated on the pick of his hurdles form and has shown promise. If his jumping holds up, he may be the pick of the weights today as Hollins gets little respite from the handicapper.
