Verdict
Ruaraidh Hugh was backed to come good in a conditionals' race at Market Rasen 11 days ago and didn't disappoint. He goes unpenalised so has to be a threat despite being a pound out of the handicap. Rocky Rebel won a novices' seller last month and this isn't much better while the unexposed Dizoard could have place claims but Diego Suarez returns from a break. WESTERN GOOSE was third over course and distance last month and may be capable of opening her account off her current mark. She's preferred to Hail The Brave and Webbswood.
