Verdict

Brandon Hill was third over C&D last time and holds major claims on that form but perhaps ASK THE WEATHERMAN can take advantage of this drop in class. He found a Grade 3 at Cheltenham last time too hot and is worth another chance off this higher handicap mark now returning to a more appropriate level of competition. Bigbadjohn was winning at Grade 2 level a year ago and is another who make do better in an easier race than his recent assignments.
  1. Ask The Weatherman
