Verdict

Quite a few of these are in good heart, none more so than ALL FOR NOTHING who finished second at Ripon last time when attempting to complete a hat-trick. He's been raised just 1lb for that effort and appears to be well worth a try over this longer trip given his recent efforts. Trump Card was in fine fettle at the beginning of the summer and is given a decent chance fresh here while Our Rachel got off the mark last time at the Curragh and should not be discounted from building on that. The likes of High Kicker, Lizard Point and Konig Hall could easily get involved at the business end in a competitive heat for amateurs.
