Verdict

An open looking conditional jockeys handicap hurdle, but with a number of the runners perhaps not ideally suited to this 2m4f trip. Mr Snoozy surprised a few onlookers when winning at Hexham latest, yet remains competitively handicapped on historic form over this trip following a mere 2lb rise and should make the frame. However, the horse with untapped potential is the Peter Bowen trained Ffos Las winner ATOMIC RUMBLE. Life promises to be tougher following a 9lb rise, but a drop back in trip shouldn't prove problematic and he's expected to be strong at the finish alongside the other proven stayer Lough Salt.
  1. Atomic Rumble
  2. Lough Salt
  3. Mr Snoozy
