Verdict

With most of these struggling for form, Nicki's Nipper should make another bold bid having beaten Mrs Grass over track and trip recently. Celtic Artisan has won on the all-weather this year but failed to complete reverting to hurdling at Kelso last time and a chance is taken on MARCUS ANTONIUS. It’s been some time since Lucinda Russell’s charge got his head in front but won on fast ground the last time he did so and was second in a higher grade hurdle at Ayr on his penultimate start. The rest are hard to fancy on recent form though Hi Dancer has tumbled down the weights and has won over track and trip before.
