Verdict

A hurdle race for Flat jockeys with Timmy Murphy taking over the reins on JELLY MONGER (NAP). The latter finished second in a higher grade hurdle than this at Stratford last time and should go very close. Tom Queally teamed-up with Martin Keighley to win last year’s renewal and Bobble Emerald arrives on the back of a win at Ludlow for which he’s been raised 7lb while Guards Chapel carries a penalty after scoring at Plumpton last week. Empty The Tank is struggling for form and Hi Tide has not won for over two years now.
