Verdict
Ryeolliean finally won a handicap over hurdles when successful at Huntingdon a fortnight ago. But he had already been headed when left in the lead after the last and looked a somewhat fortunate winner. Maiden hurdle winner HOLBROOK PARK (NAP) is getting closer and found only the well-handicapped Mr Fickle too good over track and trip last time. It could be his turn today given he re-opposes Ding Ding on better terms than when fourth to the latter over these hurdles back in February. Royal Battalion is back on a winning mark though hasn’t raced since November while Money Talks continues to struggle.
