In depth

Verdict

Placed in six of seven starts over hurdles, Off The Hook finished a creditable third in a Listed bumper at Haydock in heavy going last time. Sam's Adventure was in the lead when veering and running out before the last at Kelso while Uptown Harry found only one too good on his hurdling bow. Lord Springfield was placed at Carlisle and has his second start after wind surgery but GLINGER FLAME gets a speculative vote in an open affair having been beaten only a neck over course and distance on his recent hurdling debut.
