Another modest contest which with respect to all of those involved isn't really befitting of a Grade 1 jumps track.
Murchison River is the form pick after going close in a similar contest here in December, and with the Sam England team among the winners at Kelso on Sunday (Choochoobugaloo) rates as a worthy favourite now dropped back in trip. However, we'll seek some each-way value with the Nick Alexander-trained
EAGLE RIDGE. We've not witnessed the best of this 8yo on deep winter ground, but with the benefit of a seasonal reappearance at Kelso banked, a drop back in trip and a slow ease in the weights (5lb), he's a horse of some interest in a very poor race.
