Verdict

O'Toole, Commercial Flyer and Fard Du Moulin Mas look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap hurdle and the vote is given to Commercial Flyer. The selection won well last time out when beating Delaware and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a little in hand and he is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. O'Toole rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Mark Equal but that horse like the selection is trained by Martin Pipe so he should know where he stands with him. Fard Du Moulin Mas is another last time out winner but his best form is on slightly faster ground and for that reason he is opposed. Fast Mix looks the stables second string on jockey bookings while Quid Pro Quo looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Commercial Flyer.
