Verdict

True Romance won over hurdles in June and scored over 1m6f back on the Flat at Musselburgh a fortnight ago. A below par Spark of War finished behind but had earlier gone close over today’s trip while Jan De Heem has been placed over 1m6f recently but another winning hurdler in Millie The Minx is preferred back in this code. Watch And Learn has recently switched yards and may figure but METRONOMIC had Fillydelphia back in third when successful over course and distance last time and it could pay to stick with Peter Niven’s charge given he’ll handle any further rain.
