Verdict
Embole’s second at Hereford has taken a few knocks and his only win so far came on soft going. Dell Oro has run well in defeat at Kempton this season and is another Gary Moore runner with strong claims on today’s card. Stamp Your Feet is potentially well treated on the pick of his hurdles form while Well Smitten made a winning start over fences here last month, though has been raised 8lb. JURBY won twice over hurdles and ran well on his chasing bow at Hereford. He disappointed last time and has been dropped a further 3lb and Aidan Coleman takes over the reins. Niven made a winning start for new connections at Hexham and was a consistent performer in Ireland so shouldn’t be far away again.
