Verdict

BILBO BAGGINS ran well to finish runner-up on his handicap debut last time out and he can go one better under top weight today. Adrian Murray's charge has form on the likely heavy ground and with the step up in trip likely to suit he can get the better of last time out winner Simple Steps who drops in trip today following her win in an 18 runner contest last time. Aranhill Rascal returned to form when runner-up last time out and he is taken to finish third today.
  1. Bilbo Bagins

  3. Aranhill Rascal
