In depth

Verdict

Claiming winner Boundless Prospect looks the answer to a tricky affair, though only a handful are given serious chances. Unsuccessful in a winter hurdling campaign, Penny Island lost his maiden tag when scoring in a Nottingham handicap on his seasonal debut, and he was not disgraced when second in a fair Chepstow claimer last time. He handles cut in the ground and looks a threat. Red Rudy is a winner at this level, and ran a decent race when second in a similar contest at Brighton on Friday. He looks more exposed though and is taken on. Although beaten in a lady riders' seller last time, Boundless Prospect encounters similar conditions as when he took a Doncaster claimer last time. He looks well weighted here and Boundless Prospect can win again.
