In depth
Verdict
A wide open handicap hurdle here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Brush The Ark, Green Go, and Wee Willow and we will take a chance on Brush The Ark. The selection has been in fair form of late and a reproduction of his latest third behind Lubinas would make him hard to beat. Green Go won well here on Saturday when defeating Boston Lass but this looks much more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. Wee Willow is also worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Forever Eyesofblue last time and with the step up in trip sure to suit he is a danger to all. Of the remainder Nip On is on a good mark but he has trouble with his jumping of late so can not be backed with any confidence and for the winner we return to Brush The Ark.
