Verdict

It might pay to take a chance on TOWNHILL who was mixing it in better company than this when scoring three times last summer and is now racing from 1 lb below his latest winning mark, that victory having come over C&D. Last time out winner Coconut Twist has proved remarkably consistent over hurdles of late and he should go well again, while Pike Road may be able to recapture his form now reunited with Sean Bowen.
