Forecasts

Poormans Hill (11/8), Battling Spirit (7/2), Allez Kal (7/1), Itsallhappening (8/1), Emmas Dilemma (11/1), Zagnzig (16/1), Portrait King (20/1), Capture The Drama (20/1), Sir Ector (25/1), Maureen's Star (33/1), Nicat's Benefit (33/1)

Verdict

POORMANS HILL can take advantage of his much lower hurdles mark by taking the concluding handicap hurdle contest. The selection was in good form back in the autumn and won off a mark 7lb higher than he races off today over fences in November. Allez Kal should appreciate this return to 3m while the lightly raced Emmas Dilemma can claim third having put in a decent effort on handicap debut last time.
