In depth
Verdict
Moon Spinner ran well last time when third behind Harmonic and if he can reproduce that effort he should go close. Sammy Samba was a good winner of a National Hunt Flat Race but was very disappointing when sent off favourite on her debut over hurdles when pulled up and she will have to improve her jumping to score here. Wings Of Hope ran well in a handicap hurdle last time out and should at least be placed in this easier race. Bushehr ran well last time out when second last time out and may appreciate the drop in trip. The remainder will have to improve on all known form to score.
