Verdict
Jendali Lad, Nae Bother At All and Inn From The Cold look the main protagonists in this handicap hurdle and the nomination is given to Nae Bother At All. The selection is unexposed and although disappointing last time out he goes well fresh and despite top weight he looks the one to be on. Jendali Lad rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Romany Dream but he has had plenty off chances off similar marks without taking one and is taken on with this in mind. Inn From The Cold is another that could go well on his latest second behind Prince Adjdal but all his best form is with more cut in the ground. Of the remainder, It's A Roofer and High Country are from shrewd in form yards and should be watched in the market but they look weighted up to there best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Nae Bother At All.
