A wide open handicap hurdle with many in with chances on their best form and the main protagonists look to be Rakassa, Lorgnette, Galaxy Sam, and Legal Lunch and the vote goes to Galaxy Sam. The selection won well last time out when defeating Almanoso and of what still looks a fair mark he is taken to win again with conditions to suit. Rakassa rates the main danger he also won well last time out when defeating Leith Hill Star that rival has since franked the form and with his amateur jockey taking off a handy seven pounds he will not be far away. Lonrgnette is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Gola Supreme last time but is not sure to be suited by the drop back in distance. Legal Lunch won a seller in facile style last time out but this is much tougher and he will need to improve to win off this mark so for the winner we return to the unexposed Galaxy Sam.
