Ivors Involvement’s victory at Sedgefield last week was such a huge improvement on what had gone before that it is hard not to be sceptical. However, he runs off the same mark here and Bryony Frost takes over the reins. SHANROE TIC TEC and Crackdeloust have slipped to a lenient mark and the former’s partner is good value for a 5lb claim in a race like this. Lonimoss Bareliere may have more to offer and Sweeping Rock keeps placing but a record of 1-29 over hurdles speaks volumes. Raashdy has only won a maiden so far and has been beaten in a seller and a claimer recently but he slips further down the weights and this is a modest handicap.
