Verdict

Theredballoon has a rare run away from Southwell but has every chance of a first win in more than three years. Market Rasen runner-up Haasab must go close to a first success but connections are running out of headgear combinations to try. Stonecoldsoba and Venetian Proposal can’t be ignored but August’s Market Rasen winner Helf disappointed at Wincanton 10 days ago. We’ll take a chance of BOOBOROWIE, who has been running reasonably well on the Flat this year and has offered some hope over hurdles in the past.
