Verdict
Gaius has plenty of hurdling experience and Dylan Johnston’s claim takes care of his penalty. Fiveonefive carries 12lb extra but was third in a Class 2 handicap at Ffos Las on his latest outing and has travelled across the Irish Sea again. Omaha Wish will have learned plenty from her third at Bangor but JOHNNY BLUE could be the interesting one as he pulled clear with a subsequent winner when overcoming inexperience to make a winning debut in a bumper at Worcester in June and is a half-brother to four winning jumpers.
