In depth

Verdict

OSCAR PRAIRIE was progressing over hurdles before having his attention turned to chasing where he won a handicap at Chepstow in March. He's not badly treated back over timber and can take this as his stable has struck winning form. Bathwick Man has won five times over hurdles and looks a threat but Irish import Skylancer looks poorly handicapped. Matako made a reasonable reappearance here last month but might be a few pounds high and though Tin Pot Man has been reasonably consistent he's been beaten four times from this mark and his one success came over a much shorter trip. Double Handful has been very busy on the Flat and has run quite well in marathons though he's been placed just once in seven attempts over hurdles.
