Verdict

A conditional jockeys handicap hurdle, so the winner will escape a penalty and that won't have gone unnoticed by the shrewder connections. Phil Kirby has already landed a similar contest at Market Rasen with Arabian Oasis, but whilst much respected, he might have missed his chance at Perth recently and runs from a 5lb higher mark here. The handicapper has taken no chances with ONLYFOOLSOWNHORSES in allocating an opening mark of 98, but this gelding has been crying out for handicap company, and any market support could be rewarded in a relatively weak looking contest.
