Verdict

Division 2 of this 2m4f Handicap Chase looks far weaker than Division 1, and the vast majority of this field have little or nothing to recommend with. Therefore, with Maurice Barnes knocking winners in left, right and centre at Hexham this year, the well handicapped veteran MY IDEA fits the profile of a likely winner in a dire contest. He ran with some credit at Newcastle in April and does handle this track effectively.
