Verdict

A good opportunity for DUNKERQUE to get the 5-timer up for Jennie Candlish. Krak could yet do better over fences for new connections and could be the danger.

1	Arrives at the top of his game having completed a 4-timer in similar event over 21f at Newton Abbot 7 weeks ago, taking some time to warm to his task jumping-wise but very professional once he did. Up 3 lb and cheekpieces go on. Set for another win. 1st Pick 1 Dunkerque (Den) Jockey: Sean Quinlan Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: Sean Quinlan T: Jennie Candlish	100	-	-	-	29%

2	Fairly useful hurdler. Yet to convince as a chaser but may still do better for new connections following his Newton Abbot run when returning from a breathing operation earlier this month (caught in a poor position). Down 2 lb with cheekpieces back on and the betting could be interesting. 2nd Pick 2 Krak (Fr) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	96	-	-	-	20%

5	Has been in good heart at Hexham, winning a 2m maiden and 2½m novice in May and running a fair race behind a gambled-on winner in handicap 5 weeks ago. No easy task on these terms now chasing but arrives in better form than all bar Dunkerque. 3rd Pick 5 Passing Diamond (Ire) Jockey: Richie Mclernon Trainer: Ben Haslam J: Richie Mclernon T: Ben Haslam	95	-	-	-	50%
