Verdict
Munaawesh, Bohemian Brook and West Hill look set to fight out the finish in this novices¿ handicap hurdle and the vote is given to West Hill. The selection finished fifth behind Gustavo at Bangor last time but this softer ground should play to his strengths and at the forecast odds he could be the value call. Munaawesh ran well over course and distance last time when second behind Star Trooper. He goes well on soft ground and he is entitled to make the frame but he has yet to win in 37 starts and for that reason we will take him on. Bohemian Brook is from a top yard on this track and although he is interesting he has yet to put his best foot forward and he is hard to get excited about based on what he has shown so far. The booking of Tony Dobbin for Acceleration is interesting and he may be worth a second look in the market, but for the winner we are happy to return to West Hill who should go well at a price.
