Verdict

This step up in trip should suit AIR HORSE ONE and he is taken to claim this competitive handicap hurdle. The selection ran well to finish fourth in a valuable contest last time out and is taken to get the better of handicap debutant Jabulani who is an unexposed youngster who can finish second on this occasion while Old Guard, a good third at Cheltenham last time out can finish third.
  1. Air Horse One
  2. Jabulani
  3. Old Guard
