Verdict
After a couple of decent efforts at Newton Abbot and Uttoxeter, TURBO SHANDY let supporters down at Towcester last time. He's well handicapped at present, however, and may be worth another chance as this won't take much winning. Millers Reef's latest second came over hurdles and he was pulled up on his fencing bow but Red Law could be interesting if putting his best foot forward and Beauchamp Viking is often thereabouts. Betty Browneyes also has some ability but the fences have been getting in the way lately.
