Verdict
Ouzbeck is the class act in this Handicap Hurdle but with Emma Lavelle's charge having to concede plenty of weight to all we look to the other end of the weights and hat-trick seeking LYSTER while Cold Mountain might be value for the places. The pick followed an easy win over course and distance with a comfortable enough success under a penalty at Huntingdon last time. He'll have another 7lbs to carry here but with him racing from bottom weight, while on this form, he looks dangerous to ignore. Ouzbeck didn't jump that well despite winning a handicap chase off a mark off 140. Based on that he's well-weighted back over timber and he should be going very close. Cold Mountain is from a yard who have been in form and he should be competitive from this mark if his stamina holds. Or Jaune could be well treated based on his chase runs but Lyster is on form and can land a hat-trick.
