Verdict

OUTRAGEOUS REQUEST has proved a model of consistency since arriving from Ireland and with a decent 7lb claimer on board can go one better than at Perth 11 days ago when up against a decent novice. Rock Relief has found a bit of form this year and should also make his presence felt but chaser Flying Squad's form over the smaller obstacles is distinctly modest and Rupert Bear may not have beaten much at Hexham. Brandon Thomas may need more time and Mahfal is regularly beaten in sellers while Stags Leap and Talk Of Saafend are both carrying more than their allotted weight.
