Verdict

Unless winning pointer Local Show sparkles on his hurdling debut, this looks a three-cornered contest. BINGE DRINKER won on his hurdling debut at Worcester and followed up under a penalty over this trip at Ffos Las when Dr Robin was back in fifth. He has to give 7lb to June's Perth winner Royale Django but neither stamina nor going will be a problem and he should be up to the task. Buckhorn Timothy is the other worthy of a mention as he returns to novice company after a couple of tries in handicaps.
