Verdict
Urban Gale is very moderate but at least manages to win occasionally though usually on softer ground than he's likely to face here. Dual point-to-point winner Kilcullen Article will have needed his recent run at Chepstow and has sunk to a lowly mark and though Sam Lord has gained three of his four victories over hurdles on the track he is best when the mud is flying. Petre' Island has shown very little so a chance is taken on HEART O ANNANDALE, who looked as though a longer trip would suit when staying on over three miles at Hexham.
