Not exactly prime betting material, albeit this Military Riders' handicap hurdle will be keenly contested. The veteran Cousin Khee finished second in this race in 2017, but plenty of time has passed since with his well-being taken on trust (off since December). Southfield Torr represents the Paul Nicholls/Jody Sole partnership. However, this 6yo has appeared to be rather one-paced in his races and more worryingly is yet to threaten to deliver the goods at this particular track. Therefore, a more speculative shout is for the Seamus Mullins-trained MOGESTIC. He posted an improved effort with a change of tactics latest (led), and was a dual winner in the spring of 2018.
