Renvyle, Esterelle and Grizzly Activewear are three against the field in this handicap hurdle and the confident vote goes to Renvyle. The selection has been in good form without winning of late but a reproduction of his latest staying third behind Zurs would make him hard to beat especially as this longer trip is sure to suit. Esterelle rates the main danger but he looked very one-paced behind Frosty Run over this trip last time and he looks beatable off this mark. Grizzly Activewear is another worthy of respect but he did not appear to stay this far when tried over this trip at Southwell a couple of runs ago and he took a heavy fall last time so he can not be backed with any confidence. Great Crusader was a fair second in a better race behind River Reine last time and is another with place claims but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder The Bar Maid could go well off what looks a fair mark but she may just need the run after a 150 day absence and for the winner we return to Renvyle.
