Verdict

The three penalised runners look to be the ones to focus on here with De Rasher Counter the one on official ratings who holds sway although that rating does look rather inflated and EUXTON LANE is preferred. He demolished his field last time out and looks to have more to come over this trip. Molineaux has been a rather slower learner but is now starting to show more and he looked rather unlucky to bump into a useful sort last time and has done so again here. If there is one outside of that trio that is of interest then it would be Oscars Leader who showed far more over hurdles last time than he did in bumpers and has the look of one who can improve a little more yet.
  1. Euxton Lane
  2. De Rasher Counter
  3. Molineaux
