Verdict

TACTICAL MANOEUVRE completed a double when winning over this C&D last time out and he is taken to defy a 6lb rise in the weights to take this competitive looking handicap hurdle. The selection has the forecast underfoot conditions to suit and he can get the better of Astra Via who remains open to improvement stepping up in distance. Neetside, runner-up to the selection here last time out can finish third.
  1. Tactical Manoeuvre
  2. Astra Via
  3. Neetside
