Verdict

SAFARI JOURNEY can follow up on his recent Wincanton success at the expense of Sweet World and Raise Again. The selection reappears very quickly after winning at the Somerset track on Sunday. He won a conditional jockeys hurdle that day and therefore he avoids the seven pound penalty he would have to carry had it been a normal handicap. That in effect makes him well in and as he is able to run off the same mark, a repeat performance will see him go very close once again. Sweet World is a law unto himself as he is not the biggest and pulls like a steam train. He has caught the eye on a number of occasions but fails to get home most of the time. He struggled at Exeter last time out but will fair better on this easier track so is one to note. Raise Again is still a maiden over hurdles and is in danger of becoming a frustrating horse to follow. That said he has run well at this venue on a number of occasions and it be no surprise to see him in the shake up come the business end of the race. However for the winner we return to Safari Journey.
