Verdict

Buckhorn Tom has been placed in his last three starts but hasn't really looked like winning and is still 7lb higher than for his only success. Captain Cardington has been beaten in a couple of sellers lately, as has Juno The Muffinman, while Broadway Symphony has been struggling to make an impression in maidens and looks harshly treated. STILL BELIEVING looked a lot happier back over hurdles here two weeks ago. He drops down a grade in this and can return to winning ways as it looks as though the handicapper has caught up with Kings Apollo and Annaluna has her first run over hurdles since July last year, though she did have a pipe-opener on the Polytrack last month.
