Verdict

This is a fascinating staying hurdle with a couple that could well improve markedly here headed by SIMPLY LUCKY whose Rules form is nothing to write home about at all but a wind op and a move to a top class and in-form yard off a lowly mark could well turn that one around. Oi Oi is a similarly interesting rival who is still lightly-raced and has a pedigree that means she could well be better over this sort of trip. Point N Shoot is in good form and will be dangerous if allowed an easy lead with Pray For A Rainbow looking as though he’ll be suited by a return to this trip having won easily on his penultimate start. Sheelbewhatsheelbe is another to consider having shaped better than his final
  1. Simply Lucky
  2. Pray For A Rainbow
