Verdict

Adamhill’s best run so far came over fences but Dragoon Springs could be interesting having a first run for Fergal O’Brien after a lay-off. He's My Shadow is having a first run in a handicap but so is RAJJAMATAZ, who looked to be coming to hand at Hexham last month. Cast's Tasha has placed in half of her six hurdle starts but is a bit more exposed than some.
