Verdict

Top weight THE NEWEST ONE finished third in a decent looking novice event last time out and he is taken to make a winning handicap debut by defying top weight in this big field handicap hurdle. The selection can get the better of Bardd who ran well when finishing runner-up on his most recent start while third place can go to Miss Heritage who was placed on handicap debut in a mares only race over this C&D last time out.
  1. The Newest One
