A large field goes to post for this handicap hurdle but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Cleymor House, Big John Macarty and Lady Roisin and the confident vote is given to Cleymore House. The selection was a fair second behind Surfboard last time out, that form looks solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to score. Big John Macarty rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Fakima but he has had plenty of chances and still remains a maiden. Lady Roisin was a fair third behind Thehonourablelady last time and should improve for the longer trip so should be watched in the market. Dundridge Native is game and consistent and is sure to run his racebut for the winner we return to the progressive Cleymore House.
