Verdict

An ultra competitive handicap hurdle with the Harry Fry trained mare Secret Door seeking a hat-trick. However, it can pay to concentrate on previous winner SKY KHAN, and the Jonjo O'Neill trained Sigurd. The latter named is up 9lb for a C&D success last month (runner up Atomix has won at Hexham since); so the long distance travelling Scottish raider is the selection. Sky Khan has a clear affinity with this track, is on a decent mark, and posted a sound effort behind Jacks Last Hope at the Perth April Festival last month.
  1. Sky Khan
  2. Sigurd
  3. Oscar Sunset
