Verdict

LONE SOLDIER has achieved little so far over hurdles, but the combination of a first-time hood and a longer trip could easily trigger improvement now venturing into a low-grade handicap, so he's put forward as the answer. Sangiovese is another to keep a close eye on in the betting now tackling his first handicap after a short break, while Call Me Arthur has to be feared following a good second at Exeter.

  1. LONE SOLDIER
  2. SANGIOVESE
  3. CALL ME ARTHUR (IRE)
