Verdict

This could be a good starting point over fences for AMBION HILL. He made a pleasing return in a big-field handicap hurdle at Exeter, seeing things out better than has sometimes been the case, and has the size to think he'll make a better chaser. John Groucott has a strong hand, On The Platform and Massini Man looking his aces, while Diamond Rose is one to note at likely bigger odds.

  1. AMBION HILL (IRE)
  2. MASSINI MAN
  3. ON THE PLATFORM (IRE)
