Verdict

None of those with prior handicap form standout unduly and the lightly-raced handicap debutante with an attractive jumping pedigree FULLY BOOKED could well be of interest stepping into this sphere for the first time. Ask Paddington another first-timer in handicaps also merits respect off a mark that looks far from harsh. Off those that have competed in this sphere already the Lucinda Russell newcomer Touchedbyanangel also enters the equation while course specialist Benny’s Secret who returns to hurdles can’t be ruled out especially if he gets a decent pace to aim at. Craig Star would be a danger if he does find his old form; he lurks on a dangerous mark, blinkers going on for the first time.
  1. Fully Booked
  2. Benny's Secret
