Verdict
CAPTAIN CLAUDE was always likely to go up a fair chunk in the handicap for his victory here in March and with that proven form with give in the ground, he makes most appeal of the quintet. Walk In The Wild handles this surface and his best efforts in 2022 obtained at this time of year. Hilltown has historically been campaigned over extreme distances over hurdles though there was plenty of money around for Seamus Mullins’ charge when tried over fences at Plumpton. Maasai Warrior returns from a lengthy absence and is noted in the market on a first start for Chris Gordon.
