THE HERDS GARDEN can register a first success for his current yard by taking this handicap hurdle, he still held every chance when unseating his rider at Newcastle last month and can get the better of the front running Tonto's Spirit who's attempting to defy a penalty for a victory at Sedgefield last week. In what looks a competitive event Age Of Glory, a CD winner off an 8lb higher mark in 2015 but well beaten off that same mark in this last year can return to form by taking third for a yard who do well at this track with a 19% strike rate over hurdles here in recent years.
1. The Herds Garden
2. Tonto's Spirit
