Verdict

HOE JOLY SMOKE lost his action when last seen in a Kelso Grade 2 but he'd made a fine start over hurdles here prior to that, finishing runner-up in a division of this first time up, and he's worth chancing in the hope all is well. Masaccio, Onethreefivenotout and Alcedo are among a host of good jumps prospects in opposition and the betting should be revealing.
