A low-grade handicap hurdle in which plenty of these can be ruled out with confidence. After showing improved form to finish second at Stratford last week, Sackfullofdreams enters calculations if he is able to build upon that more encouraging effort. The unexposed Izzy's Champion made a disappointing handicap debut at Carlisle, but this represents a drop in grade and there is still plenty of time for him to make his presence felt at this level. However, we'll stick with the most solid option in the field, that is FOR JIM. The selection regained the winning thread in emphatic style recently when demolishing his opposition at Perth and can cope with the 9lb rise.
