Verdict

GODOT was running his best race over hurdles on his handicap debut at Huntingdon last time until scuppered by a bad error so is given another chance here. Handicap-debutant Awesome Foursome also looks to have better days ahead of him and is next on the list, with the handily-weighted Legal Rights and C&D scorer Caspers Court two more who need factoring into an open handicap.

  1. GODOT (IRE)
  2. AWESOME FOURSOME
  3. LEGAL RIGHTS (GER)
