In depth
Verdict
A very competitive handicap hurdle here in which many can be given chances. Madge Carroll won well at Huntingdon last time out when defeating Standing Bloom. This lightly raced mare is unxposed and she could be well weighted for this her handicap debut. Central Committee has been in good form this season but the gelding by Royal Academy ran as if in the handicappers grip when third behind The Lyme Volunteer last time out. Just A Touch has won his last two races at Warwick in the style of an improving horse. He defeated Circle Of Wolves last out by an easy five lengths and if he has improved again he will not be far away. Out Of The Shadows could also go well despite top weight but his best form is over two miles on soft ground. Sunday Rain is well weighted on his best form but his best form is on good to firm ground. Star Councel ran as if coming to hand when second behind Denarius at Sedgefield last time and a reproduction of that form would see him go well at a big price. Any money for Cash For Questions should be noted as he is a course and distance winner from a very shrewd yard.
