Verdict
Oxwich Bay won a maiden hurdle over track and trip at the end of last year and is penalised along with LUCKOFTHEDRAW. The latter opened his account over timber with a cosy win over 2m here a fortnight ago and there looks more to come from the Twiston-Davies charge. Another Emotion has a chance on these terms having found only one too good at Chepstow on his hurdling bow but the remaining pair look up against it on what they have shown so far.
