Verdict
Made In France, Zonergem and Winsley are three against the field in this competitive handicap hurdle and the vote goes to Made In France. The selection was a fair second behind the well handicapped Noshinannikin last time out the return to two miles will benefit him and he is taken to make all. Zonergem rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Tigers Lair and is still open to improvement but he would not want any more rain and for that reason he is opposed.Winsley is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Hot Shots last time and the fact that McCoy again takes the ride is a bonus in it's self. Brooklyn's Gold would have a chance on his best form but he still looks handicapped to the hilt. Of the remainder Mexican Pete is unexposed and could go well at a price but fore the winner we return to Made In France.
