Verdict

JIRKO showed promise when third on his Kelso chase debut and might prove the answer to this opener. Wainwright and Worth The Walk both bring potential to their chase debuts after breaks, while Wholly Boley disappointed at Kelso last time but was a good second at Hexham prior to that and Sean Bowen takes the reins.
