Verdict
On To Victory hasn’t run over hurdles since Boxing Day last year but is fit from the Flat and a useful performer on his day. Magistrato was a decent novice last season but HYLAND can build on victories at Warwick and Uttoxeter earlier this year with fitness unlikely to be an issue. Ilanz won well in lesser company at Market Rasen last week and can race off the same mark, though he did have a 5lb claimer doing the steering that day.
