Verdict

AWAKE AT MIDNIGHT looks the type to improve this term having just come up short on a number of occasions last season. He should be stronger now and can get off the mark for the campaign at this first time of asking. Back On The Lash may be the main danger having won his only start in good style in a bumper, while Newton Abbot hurdles winner Shiroccan Roll is repsected but may be found out by his winner's penalty. If Skidoosh attrracts any money he would be well worth considering on hurdles debut in an interesting little race.
  1. Awake At Midnight
  2. Back On The Lash
  3. Skidoosh
