Verdict
Alottarain would be an apt winner and may do better reverting to hurdles. Astrum only won a seller here last month but this isn’t much better and he makes more appeal than penalised Plumpton scorer Rob Robin. Hit And Run hasn’t been getting home at Hexham but this is a much easier track so he’s worth a second look. THE KVILLEKEN has no weight to speak of and has been showing signs of life lately so gets a tentative vote with Global Thrill possibly best of the rest.
