Verdict
Just Beth,Laertes and Allistathebarrista look the three to concentrate on in this hansdicap hurdle and the narrow vote is given to Just Beth. The selection won well last time out when beating Ladalko and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and hwe will be hard to beat. Leartes rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Supreme's Legacy but this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Allistathebarrista would have a cahnce on his best form but ran to badly to be true last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Haggle Twins has yet to prove he stays this far while Totally Scottish isd hard to win with and for the winner we return to Just Beth who has plenty of ticks in the right boxes.
