Verdict
A large field goes to post for this handicap hurdle but there is plenty of deadwood and the principals look to be Scotmail Too, Southern Bazaar and Heart Springs and the confident vote is given to Scotmail Too. The selection has dropped to a handy mark and ran as if returning to form when third behind Wot Way Chief last time out, that form looks rock solid and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Southern Bazaar rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Sea Cove but this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Heart Springs is another that could go well on his latest third behind Ouh Jay but he is often let down by his jumping. Of the remainder Silver Bowl is ganme and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Scotmail Too.
