Verdict
Highway One O Two ran well on his reappearance at Fontwell and Angus Cheleda’s claim reduces Hacker Des Places’ welter burden with the Nicholls runner expected to go well, though he might struggle to confirm Aintree running in April with Washington on worse terms. BROOMFIELD BURG is proving hard to place but it’s possible that this drop back in trip will suit with a first victory in handicap company long overdue. Galore Desassences and Kotmask have each-way claims if fully wound-up with a similar comment applying to Anyharminasking. Call Of The Wild looks the pick of the remainder.
