Verdict
Not a race that will take much winning and this looks a good opportunity for Penny Pictures to open his account over hurdles. A useful winning middle distance handicapper on the Flat, the son of Theatrical was sent off favourite on his hurdling bow at Kempton last month but ran too freely on his first start for six months and had to settle for third behind Spectrometer. Sure to have gained from the experience, it will be surprising if the four-year-old cannot collect against some moderate rivals. Jawwala is exposed as being only plating class over hurdles but should prove capable of reaching a place while hurdling debutante Vitelucy, who showed plenty of determination to land a seller at Lingfield last month, is the other to consider for the forecast in a weak event.
