Money Line, Cannon Fire, Fine By Me and Lord On The Run are a handful against the field in a wide open handicap hurdle and the narrow vote is given to the last named. The selection was slightly disappointing last time out when behind Almizan but the step up in trip looks sure to suit and off what remains a fair mark under conditions that suit he looks a vaklue bet. Money Line rates the main danger on his latest second behind Abragante but that form has since been let down and he may struggle under his penalty. Cannon Fire is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best although he could improve for the fitting of first time cheekpieces. Of the remainder, Fine By Me is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race where few can be ruled out, for the winner we return to Lord On The Run who looks a value bet
