BERTIMONT can follow up his second here earlier this month by taking this handicap hurdle. The selection was set some tough assignments in both 2015 and 2016 but he was returning to form here last time out and though raised 5lb for that effort he has won off a 3lb higher mark in the past. Sizing Granite can take advantage of his lower hurdles mark by claiming second while the unexposed useful Flat horse Top Tug is taken to claim the third placing.
