Verdict

A very competitive handicap hurdle. The narrow choice is old man Ted Veale, a one-time smart handicaper for Tony Martin. He ran well enough last time off a higher mark and could give them all something to think about off this mark if back on song. Top weight Albert's Back is unbeaten in two starts over hurdles so there could be more to come. We'll find out a lot more about him here, while recent runaway winner Ninepointsixthree and last year's winner of this race Joke Dancer, are others with claims.
  1. Ted Veale
  2. Albert's Back
  3. Joke Dancer
