MISFITS looks the pick of Lucinda Russell’s two runners and can defy top weight in a poor handicap reverting to hurdles. He was sent off favourite for a chase at Musselburgh at the start of the month and can race off a lower mark here. Intercounty Star is lightly raced for his age and may prove the biggest danger, though did finish behind the unfancied Here Comes Love here last time. The Last Leg has a long absence to overcome but was only beaten half-a-length off this mark back in August 2015.
