A somewhat low-grade but competitive finale with top weight Atlantic Storm returning to hurdles and looking as though he can play a part off this mark. Western Wave is another who figures on what looks to be a fair mark but the trip may be a little on the sharp side for him. Prince Mahler needs to be considered after he ran well back from a break last time and he generally travels well in his race. Dr Dunraven and Somerset Jem are two others that should be noted although fitness for both could prove to be a question mark. All in all a chance is taken with TIKKEN AWAY who makes his handicap debut and this yard are no stranger to improvers in handicap company and he’s well worth noting in the market here and could well win first time up in this sphere.
