Boston Heather won over hurdles at Uttoxeter in July but she is already a 10-year-old so is hardly unexposed. Station Master should make a chaser, however, though is making his debut over the larger obstacles in his first run since April. Arctic Gold has experience over fences but is not the most consistent. After placing at Warwick and here at the start of the summer, TREACKLE TART may now be ready to open her chasing account with her yard in better form now – she won on this card 12 months ago.
