Great Notions (G)
[P]
Dual point winner and battled well to make a successful debut under Rules in maiden hunter at Hexham (3m) in May. Better form in defeat since, including placing in a pair of 3m handicaps last month. Should go well again.

Golden Point (M)
FAV
Hurdle winner who has taken well to fences, impressing with her jumping when landing a course handicap over just short of 3m last month. A 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop her with further improvement likely.

Mr Nick Orpwood | L Russell & M Scudamore | 6 | 74.4 kg |

Super Citizen (G)
[P]
Bounced back to form in refitted cheekpieces to win Carlisle handicap over this trip (soft) last month, beating Court At Slip by 2 lengths. Has a win and 2 seconds to show from 3 Kelso visits so likely to give another good account of himse…

Court At Slip (G)
[B]
Stepped up on reappearance when 2 lengths second of 12 to reopposing Super Citizen at Carlisle last time and has handicapping scope if able to build on that.

Blakey Boy (G)

Modest winning hurdler who was a good second of 4 in 23.5f Newcastle 18 days ago on his completed start over fences.

Skyhill (G)
[T]
Veteran who won this race on his reappearance last year so his absence since an unseat at Ayr in February perhaps isn't too big a concern. Is 3 lb higher than last year, though.

Miss Heidi Palin | Mrs A C Hamilton | 12 | 68.5 kg |
