Verdict

LIVELY BARON makes his hurdling debut in a winnable race. Trained locally by Donald McCain, the selection was impressive when winning on his reappearance at Carlisle and is likely to have been well-schooled for this assignment. Jam Tomorrow is from a relatively successful French family, whilst Original Prankster should improve markedly now tackling obstacles for the first time. Rester Vrai looks one for handicaps after this run and a bigger danger might be The Portonion who was too bad to be true at Carlisle last time. Robertewenutter has not started at less than 28/1 in three starts and looks unlikely to play a major role once again.
