Breizh Alko (15/8), Had To Be Hugo (2/1), Carlow Farmer (5/1), Turning Gold (6/1), Betterforeveryone (7/1), To Be Sure (8/1), On We Go (10/1), Getaweapon (20/1)

Verdict

HAD TO BE HUGO looks the way to go on the back of a highly creditable effort in a Hexham maiden last month. The 6-y-o makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair mark and, with just a handful of runs under his belt, he probably has more to offer. The veteran Breizh Alko looks dangerouns but, if all is well following his departure at Plumpton last time, Betterforeveryone could be the one to pose most problems.
