Verdict
As is normal with races of this type, most of these have seen better days but Aloomomo did win a novice hurdle at Kelso on his only start this campaign. Cracking Find slips further down the weights but stamina may be an issue. Mr McGo is another who has never won beyond 2m4f under Rules but Pougne Bobbi is interesting following wind surgery and Dubai Angel is capable of going close if settling better than at Newcastle. OSCAR CEREMONY (NAP) was conceding 13lb to the in-form Eagle Ridge when only beaten a nose over course and distance on New Year’s Day. He clearly likes it here and can defy a 3lb rise to go one better.
