Formscan - None of these can be ruled out, with SLEDGEHAMMER making most appeal. The six-year-old made a winning stable bow at Hexham with something in hand and looks capable of defying a 6lb rise from the assessor. Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith have their yard in good form, so Paddy O'Mahler has to be of interest. The hat-trick seeking Upfordebate may edge out fellow last-time-out winner Slaney Opera for the bronze medal.
