Made most to 9th, with leader, 2 lengths down when shaken up briefly after 3 out, close up again next, ridden to lead narrowly flat, kept on under pressure op 7/1 tchd 5/1
Chased leaders on inside, switched outside before 4th, reminders and not travel well after next, reluctant and dropped out quickly after 9th, soon pulled up op 2/1 tchd 15/8 and tchd 5/2
Jimmy (7/4), Chloe's Court (5/2), King Cool (9/2), Deebaj (11/2), Little Boy Boru (7/1), Highdawn (16/1), Alka Step (33/1)
The veteran LITTLE BOY BORU has been running well in defeat of late and he can defy a 6lb rise in the weights for his latest effort to take this staying handicap hurdle. The selection has the forecast soft ground to suit and he can see off the consistent Chloe's Court who has placed on four of her five starts this campaign. Third place can go to Jimmy who ran well when placed over this C&D earlier in the season.
