Verdict

A race that potentially revolves around the once smart novice BARTERS HILL. Big things were anticipated for him last season over fences but a tendon problem ensured he never got off the ground. His trainer has shown great patience to bring him back and with the yard in super form this week, he can take care of these rivals if retaining his ability. Book Of Gold ran very well in a Doncaster maiden last month and that looks a solid effort given the winner ran out an easy winner at Towcester this week, he has place claims now sent handicapping over this longer trip. Both Alan King runners have their merits, with preference for Talkischeap, who ran well for a long way at Doncaster on reappearance and could improve on his switch to handicaps. Lough Derg Farmer was undone by his jumping at Ascot over fences last time and could bounce back over timber for the champion handler.
