Verdict

Christmas In Usa was in the lead when falling a couple of hurdles from home at Perth back in April and has had wind surgery since. Hitchcock travels over from Ireland after a fourth at Wexford but has to race off a 7lb higher mark while Back To Balloo scored over track and trip in May and can race off the same mark today. Little Pippin ran well here in the same month and has won on the Flat subsequently but MINELLA FIVEO is preferred. He has to be forgiven a below par effort at Southwell last time but Sue Smith’s charge gets the vote on his earlier second in a higher grade contest at Carlisle.
