      Verdict

      A tricky race to end the card, but Knightsbridge King came up against a good horse in Bongo Fury when third at Stratford last time, and he is the TEAMtalk selection. The drop back to two miles seemed to suit him there, and off a one pound lower mark here, in what may be a slightly weaker race, he is worth taking a chance with. Iron Mountain is a fair handicapper on the flat and potentially well treated on his handicap debut over hurdles, although as yet he has not really taken to the obstacles. Malarkey makes some appeal, having dropped 16 pounds since his last start over hurdles, despite having won on the flat since then. The rest are hard to make a case for, although Park City hails from a stable in good form and has shown some ability over hurdles, so money for this three-year-old on his handicap debut would be worth taking a note of.
