Neil Mulholland has a good course record with his runners over the past five years (44% strike-rate; 40% with hurdlers) and it’s interesting that he sends DUKE OF KILCORRAL on the long journey North to provide his only runner on the card. His recent Chepstow win reads well and he may be able to edge out another improver in Niceandeasy who travels well in his races. Sheriff Garrett is a reliable type although the 9lb impost for his 12L Hexham romp may just anchor him this time around. Nicely Indeed really should be able to win over hurdles but his finishing effort still remains in question.
