Verdict

Heart O Annandale is very one-paced and has a poor strike-rate but there’s no reason why he won’t make the frame again here from only a pound out of the handicap. Mo Rouge just failed to overhaul Smuggler’s Stash at Carlisle last month and races off the same mark. Rough Justice and Clues And Arrows are others to consider while Sgt Bull Berry came right back to form at Stratford, though was put up 8lb for that. DOUBLEDISDOUBLEDAT has started favourite in three of his last four runs so is obviously thought capable off this sort of mark. He was bowling along happily in front here last time until unseating his rider and this longer trip may put less pressure on his jumping.
