9/4
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.

2/1
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.

12/1
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 himself.

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.

20/1
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.

Forecasts

Golden Point (2/1), Great Notions (9/4), Blakey Boy (7/2), Court At Slip (11/2), Super Citizen (12/1), Skyhill (20/1)

Verdict

GOLDEN POINT should have more to come on the back of last month's course success and is preferred to fellow low-mileage sort Great Notions.
