Verdict
Ohms Law easily beat Jamrham at Market Rasen 12 days ago but that was something of a bolt out the blue and it’s hard to believe at least one of his younger rivals here won’t prove too good. Nicki's Nipper wasn’t disgraced on his only run over fences so far and wasn’t winning out of turn last time over hurdles. Wish In A Well and veteran That's The Deal are previous course and distance winners but it’s about time TOMMY THE RASCAL was getting his head in front in a race like this having been placed several times in better company.
