Verdict

NATIONAL QUESTION recorded his third success of the season when scraping home at Carlisle last month and Adam Nichol's 6-y-o is fancied to defy a 4 lb rise in the weights at the expense of Toby Two Scoops, who has been placed on all 5 completed starts in this sphere. Lone Star and Abbey Scope are another couple to consider, too.
