Verdict

A perfectly winnable maiden and this appears to be a very shrewd piece of placing by the Malton-handler Brian Ellison who saddles the winning juvenile hurdler WHISKEY AND WATER. He has thrived since switching to obstacles, backing up a solid Hexham debut (second) with an ever so fluent Market Rasen win. With a back-catalogue of respectable Flat form (1m-1m4f), this race is potentially his for the taking.
