Verdict
The form of OSCARTEEA's second to Robinsfirth at Wincanton last month looks decent and Anthony Honeyball's charge can go one better here getting 11lb from Ayr winner Regal Diamond, though Peter Bowen's five-year-old also looks a nice prospect. Allbarnone was second on his debut at Wetherby and Ludlow fourth Jackthejourneyman is also open to further improvement while Full Throttle, Hello George and Sign Of A Victory are all newcomers representing powerful NH yards and worth a market check.
