Lordsbridge, Power Shared and Mungo Jerry are a handful against the field in a wide open handicap hurdle and the vote is given to Power Shared. The selection was a good second behind Stagehand last time out, enters handicaps off what looks a nice mark and with the step up in trip and faster ground also looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. Lordsbridge rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Trebello but consistency is not his strong point and he is taken on with this in mind. Mungo Jerry was a fair second behind Majaales last time out and that horse has since franked the form so he is another that has definite place claims. Dip Anchor is another last time out winner that could go well but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. Mickmacmagoole has the ability to go close but often finds less than expected off the bridle. Of the remainder Dalaram ran well off this mark last time out and if he reproduces that effort he is another that would have place claims but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Power Shared to small stakes.
