An interesting little handicap hurdle with a couple coming in here off wins last time out and one had some smart Flat form and now goes handicapping for the first time over hurdles. It may well be that the handicap debutante MR GRUMPY can take this having shown up well last time out here and an opening mark of 115 doesn’t look that harsh. Both Attest and Salto Chisco won last time out and face small rises in their marks for those runs but both should be competitive with both of their wins coming in competitive races and looking to be solid form. Apart from those three the rest look a modest bunch who would have to find plenty on current form to win this.
