In depth

Verdict

There are several unexposed types in this. Mickey Buckman belied odds of 100/1 when a close second here last month. Fricka won a maiden here last month and Graham Carson’s claim takes care of her penalty. Not much separated Killer Clown and Known in a bumper at Warwick in May and both should thrive over hurdles. Dog Of War has also shown ability but Meyer Lansky may do better on easier ground. HURRICANE HARVEY (NAP) kept decent company in bumpers and will relish the extra yardage as he begins his hurdles career - Fergal O’Brien’s charge gets the vote.
