Verdict

Houndscourt has an excellent record over these obstacles and, after a successful spell of hurdling, returns to the chasing ranks on an attractive mark. Milan Dancer has struggled to find form this season, like a lot of horses from the yard, but things appear to be improving and she may be arriving at the right time off a career low mark. For the selection it is hard to look beyond the topweight TREAT YOURSELF who was always looking the likely winner at Newcastle before being left to beat one other finisher. He remains well treated on his best form in Ireland and is worth following now that his trainer has found the key to him.
  1. Treat Yourself
  2. Houndscourt
  3. Milan Dancer
