A wide open handicap hurdle rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Red Dahlia,Space Cowboy and Arm And A Leg and the narrow vote is given to Space Cowboy. The selection was a fair fifth behind Gemini Dancer in a better race last time out. This looks easier and off what looks a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Red Dahlia rates the main danger on her latest third behind Macreater. She runs off the same mark here and will not be far away. Arm And A Leg is another that could go well on his latest third behind Rajayoga but he just gave the impression he was ion the handicappers grip on that occasion and for that reason is opposed. Of the remainder Statley Raj is from a yard in form and goes well over course and distance so could run well at a price but he may just need the run after an 122 day absence and for the winner we return to Space Cowboy.
