Verdict

A small but competitive field go to post for this handicap hurdle and the TEAMTALK selection is Millcroft Seaspray. The six-year-old from the bang-in-form Robert Alner yard ran consistently well all last season, notably when second behind Karratha on his last run. He will have strengthened up in the summer and will be hard to beat off what looks a fair mark. Bin It rates the main danger. He was a good second on his reappearance behind Well Then Now Then and a reproduction of that effort will see him go close. Camp Nou won well at Southwell when beating Maraud but this is a more competitive affair and he is off a higher mark. Dat My Horse is also one to consider and although he has ran well of late, appears to be in the handicappers grip. The remainder need to improve on their latest form to score.
