Another small field goes to post for this handicap hurdle but it is competitive none the less and the principals look to be Ambry, Personal Assurance and Moon Colony and the vote goes to the bang in form Ambry. The six year old from the Sue Smith yard won with plenty in hand when defeating Dantie Boy last time out and although he is rocketing up the weights he could still be ahead of the handicapper and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Personal Assurance was a fair fourth in a class B handicap hurdle behind Buckby Lane on his last run of last season but his best form to date has been over a shorter trip so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Moon Colony is also worthy of respect he won well last time out but that was on heavy ground over a shorter trip so he is passed over here. Jollyolly has been in good form of late but ran as if in the handicappers grip when disappointing last time out so we are happy to stick with the bang in form Ambry.
