Verdict

HURSTWOOD took this 12 months ago and is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and extend his excellent record at this track. Recent Hamilton scorer Mr Trevor is feared most under a 5 lb penalty, although Captain Dandy seems sure to be on the premises too on the back of his Thirsk victory.
