Verdict
Quatro Pierji, Ontrack and Bishops Heir make the shortlist here with Quatro Pierji taken to score. Bishops Heir landed two novice hurdles here before finding the company too hot in a better race last time. He concedes weight all round here and that may prove prohibitive. Ontrack makes his debut in this country for Rose Dobbin, and this winning Irish pointer looks to have a touch of class. Things may happen a bit too quick for him here though, and he has had his jumping issues. Quatro Pierji lost his maiden tag at the twelfth time of asking at Hexham recently and that was an improved effort. He had previously been running in handicap grade and a follow up for Quatro Pierji looks on the cards.
