The penultimate race on the card is a handicap hurdle which will not take much winning and the selection goes to HALDIBARI in the hope he can follow up his runaway victory of two days ago ahead of Sir Harry Cool and Legal Glory. The selection won very nicely last Sunday and hopefully he can go in again today before his revised mark kicks in. His front running style will be suited to this track and his decent jockey will take a further five lbs off his back. Sir Harry Cool was pulled up and quickly dismounted on his latest start as if something amiss. It's interesting he is returned to the track so soon as he had been holding his form well. The quicker ground should hold no fears either. Legal Glory was still travelling nicely in a chase event when coming to grief three out. He now reverts to hurdles on a winnable mark so if his fall has not left a scar he will be in the shake up. Alan King's Nualto won his latest start but that was a poor event and more is needed here today. Kauto The Kid is a half brother to Kauto Star but all the good genes seem to have gone his brother's way. Occasionally Yours could go well if fit on his return but Haldibari gets the vote.
