Verdict

Dhania is unlikely to be far away whilst support for Street Runner would put him in the picture but it may be worth taking a chance that a visor can transform GOOGOOBARABAJAGAL. Stuart Kittow's runner lines up from a career low mark having shown little at Chepstow on his most recent outing on the level but he's run the odd decent race from higher marks in the past and hasn't been disgraced over hurdles lately. He's been tried in blinkers before but a visor may prove to be more to his liking. Dhania has been knocking on the door and is entitled to win one of these whilst Street Runner is unexposed and represents a shrewd yard so support would look significant. Seventh Hill is a twenty seven race maiden yet heads the weights here and may be able to pick up some more place prize money which is something that Bussell Along managed to do in a Brighton seller last time. Jordan's Light is back down to a winning mark and also worth considering but the obligatory selection is Googoobarabajagal.
