Verdict
High Moon didn’t show a great deal on his handicap debut but the longer trip may have been partly to blame. Lock Down Luke has been pretty consistent and Harry Skelton partners Jersey for the first time over hurdles. Doyen La Lutte is very interesting as she only weakened after jumping the last at Lingfield having finished a close third at Exeter on her hurdling debut. WELL EDUCATED’s third behind Since Day One at Newcastle is working out well and he shapes as though he’ll enjoy this extra half-mile so gets the vote.
