Verdict
Runasimi River has been on the go for a while and looked to be in the handicapper’s grip last month at Hereford. Parlour Maid hasn’t raced over hurdles in more than 12 months and was beaten off a lower mark on that occasion but it would be no surprise to see Ratoute Yutty go close with a clear round while Early Days may do better now qualified for handicaps. JUBILYMPICS (NAP) usually keeps better company and Ben Jones’ claim can help her pick up the winning thread again given she is very much at home on testing ground.
