Verdict

Connections look to have found a good opportunity for ENEMY COAST AHEAD to defy a double penalty having won two weak Southwell novice hurdles over shorter trips (this will be his first try at 2m4f). A winner by 11L last time he’s on course to complete his hat-trick here. On ratings and at the weights Oi The Clubb Oi’s would have a good chance of defeating the selection but he’s not run over hurdles for quite some time and may be short of match practice. Of the others course bumper winner Elleon will need to brush up his jumping technique before he’s of interest over hurdles. Leeswood Lily needs watching with a view to the future and handicaps once she gains a mark.
  1. Enemy Coast Ahead
  2. Oi The Clubb Oi's
