Verdict
There are question marks hanging over quite a few of these regarding fitness or a return to hurdling but Soiesauvage has been in decent form lately, though it was disappointing that she couldn’t follow up her Uttoxeter win at Warwick when effectively 3lb lower. COUSIN OSCAR goes well here and should have benefited from his first run since wind surgery here earlier in the month when it wouldn’t have helped that he unseated his rider after a false start. He holds another course winner, Black Buble, on that run so gets the nod. Shadow Sadness disappointed on his handicap debut but should be capable of better and Lissycasey was well backed on his reappearance at Warwick. Erick Le Rouge was highly tried in his first season so any market support should be noted.
