Verdict

Several in here have claims and it is interesting that a few trainers have decided to switch their charges back to hurdling from the bigger obstacles. Even so, it might be worth chancing MARKOV this time around. Ben Pauling's seven-year-old showed signs that a win may not be far away when tried here last time. He looks to have a workable mark and little weight to carry. Red Infantryand Arthurs Secret are other lightweights who can go well, while Point The Way, The Organist and Ruacana should be in the shake-up.
