In depth
Verdict
Billy's Angel has been hurdling and is 0-7 over fences, though has placed on several occasions. Shady Oaks is 0-21 but found only one too good here last time when Onenightintown was behind. Honourary Gift could have more to offer but hasn’t raced since December. GO ON BRYCEY LAD hasn’t been beaten far in his last two starts over the larger obstacles. He still has time on his side and this won’t take much winning.
