Verdict

These wide open selling handicaps are becoming a feature of the track and the best advice is to tread very warily. Remarkable to see Leader Of The Land return to action for the first time since August 2013 and he needs a market check in view of the yard's perseverance with the Halling gelding. INTIFADAH shaped much better last time in an ordinary handicap for the Skeltons and a repeat of that effort could suffice, especially as he could well progress again on just a third start for the yard. Brian Hughes is an interesting booking for Phoenix Park, now back with David Dennis, and Bisoubisou must be noted for Olly Murphy, as, like the selection, he is dropping into selling grade after respectable runs in open handicaps.
