Semi Precious, Rohan and Monbonami look to be the principles in this handicap hurdle and we will take a chance on Monbonami. The selection has been running well over fences of late and he looks to be on a handy mark for his return to hurdling. With conditions in his favour he could be capable of running a big race. Semi Precious is the main danger as this gelding ran well when defeating Bid Spotter at Huntingdon last month. He should go well again here but is opposable because the step up in trip is not sure to suit and he might not enjoy the slightly faster ground. Rohan looks to have decent place claims as this improver ran his best race to date when a fair fourth to Mamboesque at Huntingdon last month. He is still lightly-raced so there could be more to come, but he will have to improve again to take this, so for the winner we return to Monbonami.
