In depth

Verdict

Get out your pin for this very tricky handicap hurdle. We have narrowed it down Alfy Rich, Inn From The Cold and Mae Moss and we will plump for Inn From The Cold. Lennie Lungo's quiet spell is over and Inn From The Cold put in a promising effort last time when third behind Mr Midas. That was his first outing for over a year and so improvement can be expected and he looks the best option in a poor contest. Alfy Rich returned to winning ways at Carlisle last time over the two mile trip. He has won over longer in the past and should make his presence felt this afternoon. In these type of races it pays to check out the riders and Miles Seston is more than capable of pushing Mae Moss into a place at big odds. Oscar The Boxer and Green 'n' Gold are two others to consider for each-way purposes, but we return to Inn From The Cold as our idea of the winner.
