      Verdict

      Viking Hoard started joint favourite for a handicap at the Galway Festival in July after winning earlier at Killarney but was never going the pace and seems better over further. Mixboy is a course and distance winner but has not run over hurdles since 2016, though has won over fences and on the Flat since. Brian Ellison won this last year and sends out Lucky Robin in search of a hat-trick. He was all out to win last time at Market Rasen but the second has won since. BEACH BREAK has already rattled up a three-timer and his progression shows no sign of slowing. Though up another 3lb, he may take some stopping.
