Verdict

IT'S OSCAR (NAP) came here for a handicap hurdle last month and made all for a comfortable victory despite jumping right. He reverts to fences on a 7lb lower mark than that race and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to follow up. Mandy's Boy has run poorly in three starts over fences but still finds himself at the head of the weights so On The Case may prove more of a threat if managing to get round safely as he's consistent at this sort of level. Entry To Evrywhere has done very little since landing a point-to-point two years ago and the remaining pair are harder to fancy.
