Verdict

A competitive handicap hurdle, where THECLOCKISTICKING could be the one to side with. A handicap newcomer here, his form in novice hurdles saw him finish close to some good horses, including the likes of Claimantakinforgan (now rated 151), so off an opening mark of 138 he should be able to get involved in this. Eaton Hill finished close in a Grade 3 last time and would go close if repeating that performance on better ground, while Wenyerreadyfreddie is another with claims.
