Verdict
MICKMACMAGOOLE had dropped to a very tempting mark before seeing off the well handicapped Azione at Ffos Las last week and though racing with a penalty it will almost be negated by his rider's claim and he can gain the tenth hurdles win of his career. Lesanda hasn't had much racing since landing a bumper here early last year while Rosbay is still a maiden over timber and Red Skipper looks a few pounds high. Bob's Dream alternates between hurdles and fences and is on a lower mark than when last successful over timber. He looks a threat as does Agricultural, who has been a bit unlucky on his last two visits to the track.
