In depth
Verdict
A wide open handicap here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Borehill Joker, Donovan, Time Marches On and Welsh Dream and the tentative vote goes to Borehill Joker. The selection has been in good form of late goes well at the track and with the return to hurdles looking sure to suit he will be hard to beat off what looks a fair mark. Donovan rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Crossbow Creek but he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Time Marches On is another worthy of respect he also won well last time out when defeating Power And Demand but that was in a seller and this looks much tougher. Of the remainder Welsh Dream has dropped to a handy mark and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Borehill Joker.
