In depth
Verdict
CLONGOWES was a decent sort on the Flat in Ireland when trained by Jim Bolger. He’s never won over hurdles but was placed here last season off an 11lb higher mark and has been lightly campaigned this term. Big Jimbo hails from an in-form yard and has been going well on the all-weather at a lowly level while Mutual Respect will be helped by his young rider’s claim. Ez Tiger was well supported at Huntingdon last time but Ohnodonttakemehome has more scope and is also eased in grade.
