Verdict
Throckley drops into this lowly grade for the first time over hurdles and is worth a second look. Ardview Lad has been making hay between the flags and Mustaaqeem finished close up last time at Stratford, despite only finishing fifth. Dora’s Field was second over course and distance last month and is only a pound higher but it might be worth sticking with LAPFORD LAD in his current form. Sue Gardner’s charge was close up when falling here in between course victories and Sean Houlihan’s claim halves a 6lb rise.
