Verdict
Guns Of Love hasn't run over hurdles since 2007 but has won three times over fences and is well treated. Tigger generally manages to reach a place but has now gone 19 starts without winning and Upper Deck did better when stepped up to 3m2f last time. Mission Complete reappeared at Stratford and landed a handicap in battling style for which a 5lb rise doen't look excessive. He's progressing nicely and should go well but the concession of so much weight to DERWEN PRYDE may just be too much. Peter Bowen's charge was making his handicap debut when a good third over a shorter trip here recently and, as that was his first sign of ability, he can continue to make progress and take this.
