Verdict
This race looks ripe for an upset but Mash Potato and Louloumills are recent winners so will be on the short-list with the latter, who beat the odds-on Taws at Sedgefield earlier this month, preferred. SPORTS BARROW won a well-contested long-distance handicap at Navan last August for Sandra Hughes. Now with Colin McBratney, the five-year-old is still pretty much unexposed over hurdles and could be throw in here on a mark of 99. Christmas In Usa also has a squeak but Sweet Holly hasn’t been progressing.
