Not a great deal of strength in depth in this opening handicap hurdle with MIGHTY MISSILE one of the more obvious contenders after his tenacious Wincanton win. Honey Pound needs to be respected coming back to the scene of his C&D win off just a 4lb higher mark that should be within his scope. The others are harder to be positive about although Boy In A Bentley and Jazzy are two others that have a chance here in what is basically a weak race.
