Verdict
The stiff hurdles here shouldn’t inconvenience chaser Give Me A Moment but he might not be much of a price. Mangrove River has had a couple of runs in points and has a nice pedigree for jumping but we’ll stick with the hurdling experience of IKE SPORT, who possibly didn’t last home over 2m4f here on his UK debut. Dasher Riley beat the odds-on Dreamweaver over track and trip to make a winning debut under Rules but now carries a penalty.
