Verdict

An open-looking handicap hurdle in which top weight Vendredi Trois will be looking to make it third-time-lucky after his lay-off. He is respected given his jockey booking, while Baby Sherlock's breeding suggests he should be running at Cheltenham rather than here. He could be well handicapped, but the same can be said of PADAWAN, a winning pointer who makes his handicap debut with a top jockey booked. He could represent value and is worth keeping an eye on in the market, along with bottom weight Light Breaks and Princesse Fleur.
  1. Padawan
  2. Vendredi Trois
  3. Princesse Fleur
