Verdict

Plenty of headgear and temperament on display here and there could be some fun and games in-running in this. John Williams sets the standard although he will face very different conditions to those that he won in at Hexham recently and he’s been beaten off this mark before. Endeavor is back over fences but he definitely has two ways of running and although capable at this level this is a stiffer test than he faced over hurdles last time. Muwalla is another with a questionable temperament and it may well be that COOPER’S FRIEND can take advantage of the situation here. He’s another who has flattered to deceive in the past but he’s becoming too well handicapped to ignore now and at the prices he’s worth a shot in what is fairly modest contest.
  1. Cooper's Friend
  2. John Williams
  3. Muwalla
