Verdict

Glen Warrior, Thrilling Prospect and Robyn Alexander are three against the field in this competitive handicap hurdle and the vote goes to Glen Warrior. The selection won with plenty in hand when defeating Zurs last time out and although he is rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and still looks ahead of the handicapper so he is taken to score. Thrilling Prospect also won well last time out when beating Risk Lady but that was in a mares only race and this looks tougher so she is passed over on this occasion. Robyn Alexander has been chasing without success of late and is returning to hurdles here however she looks weighted up to her best and looks beatable on that basis. Lesdream is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is rising in the weights without winning and he may need rest bite from the handicapper before he gets his head in front. Of the remainder Mioche d'Estruval is from a yard in top form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Glen Warrior.
