Verdict

This looks trappy but SCHERBOBALOB got the job done in pretty convincing fashion on just his second start in handicaps at Ludlow 3 weeks ago and gets the narrow vote to come out on top again from a 5 lb higher mark. Glory Bridge has the ability to play a part if putting it all together and is feared, along with his stablemate Iceman Dennis. Hokelami isn't out of things either.

  1. SCHERBOBALOB
  2. GLORY BRIDGE (IRE)
  3. ICEMAN DENNIS (FR)
