In depth

Verdict

The Hearty Joker ran a promising race last time but appears to have something to find with the principals and it boils down to a match between Itsonlyme and Goldbridge. The last-named is a useful winning hurdler and appears to have races in him over the larger obstacles judged on placed efforts at Huntingdon of late, putting up a particularly fine effort when jut losing out to Bustling Rio in March. However, the vote goes to Itsonlyme who is far superior over hurdles and can make a winning return having been narrowly denied over fences at Huntingdon in January.
