Verdict

WAR SOUND can record his first victory over fences by taking this competitive looking novices' handicap contest. Trainer Philip Hobbs is in good form at present (9/49) and his charge is taken to get the better of top weight Geordie Des Champs who was a winner over further last time out. Stynes was in good form when last seen in action and he is taken to finish third on his first start of 2018.
