Verdict

Hardly a deep event and several of these will be hoping that they don’t affect their potential handicap marks by getting too close to the principals here. Elvis Mail and Northern Soul have both already shown that they have ability in this sphere with the former winning over C&D and already having a mark of 123. The latter battled on well to win at Wetherby showing some sound form but he looks as though he’ll be better over further with this test looking a little sharp. ERIK THE RED receives 6lb from his two main rivals and although he has yet to jump a hurdle in public his mainly Flat-based yard know what they are doing in this sphere; he’s taken to make a winning debut.
  1. Erik The Red
  2. Elvis Mail
  3. Northern Soul
