Verdict
HOGAN’S HEIGHT is potentially well treated having a rare run over hurdles with trip and going both in his favour. The maiden Steady Away was second off a 3lb higher mark at Exeter in March but conditions would be a concern for Oscars Moonshine after a year on the sidelines and Paricolor hasn’t won outside of selling company in almost two years. Nickelsonthedime is more interesting making his handicap debut.
