Verdict

Sheila Nash hasn’t really taken to hurdles so far but she is making her handicap debut at a very modest level. FREETHINKER looked to be running into form when second at Lingfield in November, however, so Lily Pinchin’s mount gets the nod receiving 15lb from Ayr winner Goodtimes Badtimes. Don Brocco has as many letter as numbers in his form figures but he still appeared to travelling when falling at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and was third at Catterick before that.
