In depth
Verdict
This is quite competitive for a Class 6 handicap. Obee Jo has been going well and receives weight all round so shouldn’t be far away but NINE ELMS loves it here and was only beaten half-a-length at the track last time having a first run for Kevin Frost. The drop back to a mile has to be in his favour. Big Narstie won off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell when last in this grade but he’s never won on Turf and neither has Haydock second Roman Dynasty. Esticky End has a long absence to overcome but Makalu must have some sort of chance.
