Verdict

LAMOOL won with plenty in hand at Aintree last month and can shrug off a penalty in this distinctly modest company. Only Gorgeous looks best of the remainder having posted his best effort so far when runner-up here earlier in the month with I'llhavealook well beaten. The selection's stablemate Beat The Tide should do better with hurdling debut at Uttoxeter under his belt and point-to-point winner Lee Side Lady looks another likely improver.
