Verdict

LOCHALSH is taken to claim this concluding staying handicap hurdle. The selection is unexposed over 3m and wasn't beaten far on his only attempt at this trip off a 5lb mark when finishing seventh at Musselburgh in January. Pikarnia holds the selection on their running over 2m4f at Sedgfield last month and can claim second on his first outing over 3m while Down Time who stays this trip well and finished runner-up over further last time out is taken to finish third.
