Verdict
North Landing, San Peire and The Joker are three against the field in another tight handicap hurdle and the narrow vote is given to North Landing. The selection was a fair third behind Majorca last time out. That form has since been franked and off what remains a fair mark he is taken to score. San Peire rates the main danger on his best form but he just ran as if in the handicappers grip behind Moustique De Lisle and for that reason he is opposed. The Joker is another worthy of respect on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Paperprophet goes well fresh and despite top weight he could go well at a price but for the winner we return to North Landing.
