Verdict
Into The Sunset has been well beaten the last twice after winning at Bangor and the recent performances of LEOPOLDS ROCK house greater appeal. The Kirby gelding is in the midst of a solid sequence and has handled the hikes from the handicapper well. He's up another 1lb but has his trip and conditions and will receive stylish assistance from the saddle. Tuff McCool and Misty Mani return from absences and may need the run - both are also having a first start since wind surgery. Silkstone is hard to go with as he's winless over timber in 19 attempts but FLIGHTY BRIDE might shake up the selection. Disappointing last time, previous efforts revealed ability over this trip and ground and she's relatively unexposed after just seven starts over timber.
