James Moffatt
Placed in two chases from 12 starts. Well beaten at 9-2 behind Isla Pearl Fisher when seventh of 8 on his latest outing in a chase at Newcastle over 3m (good) in March.
Most have some sort of chance and each-way punters will be hoping there are no withdrawals. KILVERGAN BOY should provide us with a good run for our money as he'll stay the trip and remains in good heart, beaten a nose and a quarter of a length in his last two outings over similar trips. Treehouse is far better at Hexham than anywhere else but Ann Hamilton has a good strike rate with chasers and her Nomadic Way gelding remains feasibly treated. Ignore Tipsy Dara's latest effort and include her in the shortlist along with Esme Rides A Gaine.
