An uninspiring contest with few who can boast solid recent form but Over The Hill is taken to bounce back to his best. The 11-year-old can be forgiven his latest disappointing efforts on account of the testing conditions but had previously recorded back-to-back wins at Sedgefield in October including a handicap off a mark just 3lb lower than today's rating. With conditions to suit and an experienced conditional on board, Over The Hill should prove hard to beat at this lowly level. Mr Christie is very well treated on the pick of his form but has been well below his best of late and can't be backed with confidence while Jonaem has struggled off this mark since a selling handicap success at Sedgefield in November. Sally's Twins remains an exposed plating-class maiden but comes here in fair form and may reach the frame ahead of some frustrating and out of form rivals.
