        Verdict

        Flake, Minster Abbi and Giovanna look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap hurdle with the vote going to Minster Abbi. The selection was a fair third behind Supreme Builder last time out, looks sure to improve for the longer trip and with his yard in good form and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Flake rates the main danger on his latest third behind Stainley but this hard puller has yet to prove he stays this far and he is taken on with this in mind. Is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks in the handicappers grip at present. Idarah has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price if the blinkers have the desired effect. Mujamead has been in good form of late on the flat but is not as good over hurdles while Echo Point has looked a shadow of his former self of late and for the winner we return to Minster Abbi.
