Verdict

Micky Hammond has a very strong hand in the finale courtesy of the Billy Garritty ridden WITNESS and the Emma-Smith Chaston ridden It's All About Me. However, such was the manner in which the selection readily disposed of his rivals when taking an identical C&D conditional jockey's handicap hurdle, he's confidently expected to make light of a 6lb rise in the weights and double up in the hands of a promising young rider. Of the remainder, Farlam King holds realistic place claims having shown signs of improvement (at a lowly-level) of late.
