It's not an exaggeration to say that this is likely to be one of the more competitive handicap hurdles you will see this season, with none of the field able to be dismissed out of hand. Crimson Ark effectively fell rather than pulled up as the form line suggests last time, and having only been beaten by the smart Ballyoptic so far this season looks to be in with a good chance, while Wishing And Hoping could show himself to be very well treated if managing to jump round this time. Preference though, is for RIVER FROST. Alan King's charge has looked progressive all through this season and shaped as if today's intermediate distance would suit before falling in the mud at Wincanton last time. If showing no ill effects from that episode, he can provide the answer. 1. River Frost 2. Crimson Ark 3. Wishing And Hoping
