Verdict

A small field, but this looks to be a fairly tight and trappy race. Wind surgery could potentially see Born For War in a much better light, and he certainly deserves another chance on quicker ground after being bogged down (over fences) at a rain-lashed Hexham. However, he's unlikely to represent much value at his projected odds, so a chance is taken on the top-weight ISLAND HEIGHTS in the hope that he can get his career back on track from a competitive handicap mark.
  1. Island Heights
  2. Born For War
  3. David John
