Verdict

Competitive first division of this 2m4f handicap hurdle with plenty that can be given a chance. Jonjo O’Neill took this last year and his Tegerek looks to be heading in the right direction in handicap company along with the likes of Arctic Road who progressed through the handicap ranks last year and may well have more to offer. Nigel Hawke makes the long trek from his Devon base with Farmer Boy who if he brushes up his jumping has to be of interest given the trainer’s good record here. I'D BETTER GO NOW makes his first foray into handicaps off the back of a wind op and this looks to be the scenario he’s been waiting for.
  1. I'd Better Go Now
  2. Farmer Boy
  3. Tegerek
