In depth
Verdict
Ourmanmassini has the form to win a race like this but has had his far share of chances over the years. Hurdling debutant Jamhoori won on Polytrack and Tapeta over the winter and should have no trouble staying but is no world-beater, though Jamie Moore could probably have ridden Zante or Two Sugars if desired. LOVELY JUBBLY got outpaced in the closing stages at Ludlow last month but that was his best run to date and he may well find further improvement here. Welluptoscratch will find this a lot easier than his hurdling debut at Sandown and also warrants respect.
