Verdict

GONE HUNTING is taken to land this claimer at the expense of Weet In Nerja and Dancinig Welcome. The selection won a similar contest at Great Leighs last month and although he was a beaten favourite last time out he ran well enough when third to Coqnac Boy at Lingfield last time out. He is a consistent type that always runs his race and can be relied upon to be in the shake up once again. Weet In Nerja caught the eye when dropped in grade into selling company over course and distance last time out. He finished a close second that day and as he is still only lightly raced there could be further improvement still to come. Dancing Welcome is another improver having showed signs of ability at Kempton last time out. Milton Bradley has his team of horses in good nick at the moment so any market moves should be noted. However for the winner we return to Gone Hunting.
