Verdict

We like the look of THATLLDOFORME in this handicap hurdle and he is nominated over Balakar and Delightfully. This could be a quick-fire double for the trainer as this 7-year-old was only narrowly beaten before a disappointing effort yesterday. He is tough and he will love the ground so makes plenty of appeal if he takes his chance. Balakar fell last time at Musselburgh and although he would have claims on his best form, this ground is not sure to suit. Delightfully finished behind our selection last time when a bad mistake cost her any hope of getting competitive. The yard are in good form so she might be capable of better today. Kid'z'play goes well here but he looks to be in decline, and we will stick with Thatlldoforme as the pick.
