Verdict
SAMTARA is not ground-dependent and has proved a consistent sort for the Keighley team despite not getting his head in front in nine hurdling starts. Hopefully, that can change here as he handles conditions, stays the demanding 3m2f trip and the excellent Tommie O'Brien has been booked. Oliver Greenall continues to climb the training ranks and Lex Talionis should be in the mix for the yard here. He, too, will handle trip and ground. Eureu Du Boulay is rather hit and miss as form figures reveal, but the best of his form, including a Market Rasen success last month, warrants a place on the shortlist alongside Sartene's Son. Check out Starsky in the market on his first run for Dan Skelton too.
