Verdict

This is a competitive handicap hurdle where all the runners seemingly hold claims of one form or another. Beltor was far from disgraced when seventh in the Betfair Hurdle last time and could have a say here in what is a much less competitive heat off a slightly lower mark, while Hint of Mint clearly likes it here given how he's performed over C&D recently, but it seems likely he's just a little too high in the weights now. Preference therefore is for WISHFULL DREAMING, who was fourth in a Listed race won by Brain Power last time and seems to be going the right way. He can provide the answer dropped back down in class.
  1. Wishfull Dreaming
  2. Hint Of Mint
