Verdict

This is a tight little handicap with MIley Shah having to concede lumps of weight after his shock victory over some smart hurdlers at Killarney. The veteran YOUR BUSY has been chasing and only just failed to land a Listed handicap at Aintree in April. He reverts to hurdles on a 21lb lower mark and can get back to winning ways. A Perfect Woman makes her handicap debut after some smart form in maidens while Sardinia bounced back to form at Killarney last month and Harangue returns to hurdling for the first time since 2013 when he completed a hat-trick.
