Verdict

This represents a good chance for ADMIRAL BARRATRY to open his account with his form looking to be much the best of these having nearly caused a surprise when last seen at Newbury. Hugos Horse is an interesting contender for last year’s winning trainer as he returns to the stable after winning a point-to-point having been pulled up in a novice hurdle when previously with the Nicholls yard and the tongue-tie now goes on. Wallace Spirit looks as though he has ability but also his share of temperament and that may hold him back again.
