Verdict
A switch to more positive tactics saw Natural Ability finishing second at Sedgefield last month and he must enter calculations. A 2lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing from the eight-year-old, but stable debutant CONQUER THE BREEZE could prove to be better treated. Although Adam Nicol's inmate finished his time with Maurice Barnes with something to prove, he sits on an attractive mark and a change of scenery may freshen him up. Welsh raider Zero Tolerance is the pick of the remainder.
Expert View Verdict
Chasing newcomer Ghasham can be given a chance on his hurdles best, but this can be a tricky course and WE GOT YOUR BACK might be a better option back chasing and over a C&D he's won over previously. He's hardly solid, though, and Natural Ability, who has found some form of late, will appeal to many as an alternative.
