Verdict

Middlebrow is a 117-rated winning chaser who represents the newly forged McCain/Hughes partnership. He has undoubtedly improved since making his last start over hurdles in September 2017, but this trip is short enough at a sharp track even allowing for his fairly prominent style of racing. However, the majority of the others aren't particularly alluring either other than the mare BLUE BATON who appears to be progressing at a reasonable pace and was noted finishing well behind Birch Vale on just her second hurdles start at Hexham a fortnight ago.
