Verdict
Dont Hesitate won a maiden for Willie Mullins and is unexposed in handicaps. Jamacho rattled up a four-timer over the summer and hasn’t been disgraced off his new mark the last twice. William H Bonney is the senior runner in this but back on a winning mark and he caught the eye over course and distance on his reappearance. FRANSHAM has already won twice around here, including this race 12 months ago. He is only 3lb higher today and back over his best trip after a pipe-opener at Market Rasen. Pop The Cork is lightly raced over hurdles and found only one too good at Warwick in February but returns on a 6lb higher mark. Marlborough Sounds won on the all-weather last month and looks best of the rest.
