Verdict

MAGICAL THOMAS was in great form during the summer and he is taken to register a third victory of 2018 in this handicap hurdle. The selection has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit and he can get the better of Borak who was a winner last time out. Third place can go to Mead Vale who drops in trip and remains open to improvement.
  1. Magical Thomas
  2. Borak
  3. Mead Vale
