Verdict

Not an overly appealing contest with at least half of the field happily dismissed for win purposes. Miss Conway returns to her favoured Hexham, but she has plenty of weight, and there's other potential pace angle here which include Duhallowcountry and Notonebuttwo. Bingo D'Olivate is potentially well handicapped on his old hurdles form, but that's because he doesn't tend to win all that often, and his fencing needs some work, therefore the safest option in a moderate race is the recent Newcastle runner up SKY FULL OF STARS. His trainer James Ewart is in a fairly decent spell of form at present.
