What could be a one-sided end to the card if
JUDGE EARLE is in the same form as he was last Tuesday at Newton Abbot; a 7lb penalty unlikely to stop him. Of course the quick turnaround may not be to his liking but his trainer Peter Bowen has an excellent strike-rate (44%) with his handicap hurdlers backing up quickly. Pace shouldn’t be an issue in this race with
David John,
King Golan and
Nemean Lion all likely to push the pace, the latter of that trio looking to be one of the dangers.
Aquarian for the yard that won this last year caught a tartar at Fontwell last time but he’s hardly the most reliable and
Jessiemac is offered as a potential threat if she settles better, she is a C&D winner.
