    Verdict

    A terrific line up for this handicap hurdle and it would be no surprise to see Motrcomb Jam bounce back to form, however we will take a chance on Bodfari Creek, with Iceberge also expected to run well. This seven-year-old won three in a row last summer and looked in need of his recent spin at Fontwell. He still looks on a winning mark and could be the one to beat. Iceberge has to overcome an eighteen months absence but as he hails from the powerful Jonjo O'Neill yard, there is every chance he will be fit and fancied. Motcombe Jam has failed to finish on his two recent outings, but he must come into the equation on his previous second to Royal Predica. Romero and Grimshaw both appear to be reasonably well treated and could be best of the others, but Bodfari Creek is consistent at this level and gets our vote.
