Verdict
The only course winner in the line-up, Tokaramore is back over hurdles after a spell chasing but still looks a few pounds too high. Thatbeatsbanagher needs much further and softer going so this can go to handicap debutant FOLLOW YOUR ARROW, who has placed on a couple of occasions and should be suited by this trip. Augharue is also having a first run in handicap company so can’t be ruled out with Guidedbythescience another worth a market check.
