      Verdict

      A talented hurdler, Tiger O'Toole has been a huge disappointment over fences so far. He's potentially well treated in his first handicap but the fences may well get in the way again so we'll stick with the tough OLDRIK. Though raised 6lb for his win over 2m3f here 12 days ago, he's still 6lb lower than his current mark over hurdles and may well be capable of further improvement over the larger obstacles. Falcon Island won over C&D last month and came back to form at Ludlow last time. He can't be ignored while Doeslessthanme is only a pound higher than when runner-up to Super Formen over C&D recently and should also make his presence felt. Golan Guy may find this company too hot, however.
