With only five in the handicap this shows the race will not take a lot of winning. Above The Cut was a good winner of a selling handicap hurdle last time out at Market Rasen under similar conditions and if he can reproduce that form he will be hard to beat. Iro Origny has a long absence to overcome but he could win this half-fit on his old form and is a danger to all. Do Ye Know Wha is on the downgrade but even he has place prospects in this moderate affair. The remainder need to improve on their latest form to hold any chance.
