Verdict
Despite a couple of seconds this season, L Frank Baum has a record of 1-20 over hurdles and is usually worth opposing though did finish ahead of better-fancied stablemate Filatore at Hereford 12 days ago. Asockastar drops down a grade after a second at Musselburgh so must have every chance off the same mark but Try It Sometime is better known as a chaser and has rarely been seen over hurdles in the last two years. CORONER’S REPORT was a touch keen at Hereford at the start of the month but his fourth there was his best effort so far and he makes his handicap debut at a very modest level.
