FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Connections of handicap first-timer, SHERIFFHILL, were represented with distinction by 2019 Arkle Chase third placer Articulum in the past. They've had to be patient with Sheriffhill. He didn't complete when market-leader for his point-to-point back in the spring. Afforded a nice break after that, Terence O'Brien competed the well-related Westerner gelding in three maiden hurdles this winter. A little bit of progression can be gleaned from those appearances, which sees him begin in this sphere from a workable mark of 97, and John Shinnick's claim is also helpful. The un-exposed selection, up-in-trip here, can at least be on the premises for a place in the frame. Several of these have been there and done that with regard to winning at this venue. Two of these, Dancing After Dark and Crowsatedappletart, certainly make the shortlist.
