A wide open handicap hurdle rounds off the card and many would have chancwes on their best form but the principals look to be Super Sensation Tisseman and Island Light and the narrow vote is given to Super Sensation. The selection won well last time out when beating Mapilut du Moulin and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and with his yard continuing in good form he looks the one to be on. Tisseman rates the main danger on his best form but he was let down by his jumping last time out and he looks vulnerable under top weight. Island Light is another that could go well but was badly hampered last time and could not recover and off the same mark here he has definite place claims. Rawaabet won a seller on soft ground last time out but looks vulnerable on this faster surface while Upright Ima is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Super Sensation.
