Verdict
TOWN PARKS has found only one too good at Ludlow and Hereford since the turn of the year. Kerry Lee’s charge remains on a winning mark and could enjoy more luck here. The Bottom Bar looks the danger as he’s feasibly treated on the pick of his hurdles form and should have more to come over fences. Holbrook Park obviously has a bit to prove at present but a drop in distance might help. Western Miller has had a disappointing campaign but is a course and distance winner so preferred to Aintree My Dream and the inconsistent Stamp Your Feet.
