Verdict

Pat's Oscar posted a much improved hurdles effort when going down by a neck to Apachee Prince in a C&D handicap hurdle earlier this month, and has the proven ability to handle deep ground (Sligo bumper winner). However, despite holding slight reservations about the ground, the horse to beat would appear to be TALKOFGOLD. She didn't beat too much of any note when successful at Hexham in May, but she made Gettysburg Address dig deep in order to land the odds back down in Northumberland latest. Whilst penalised for her initial success, much of her 7lb penalty is removed by the very capable Ross Chapman (claims 5lb). Of the remainder, Simone, a half-sister to Simonsig looks the most interesting hurdling newcomer.
  1. Talkofgold
