Keegans Independent Drinks Suppliers Handicap Hurdle (Div 1) (Class 4) (4YO plus)
2m 3f 123y Good-good to soft in places on chase course
Verdict
None of these overly appeal. Let's side with LEJO DU SEUIL, who is coming off an improved effort at Huntingon when runner-up in a maiden hurdle and now goes handicapping with the potential to improve up in trip. Crack Ops is a solid alternative, having run well here last time tried in cheekpieces, and he to should appreciate the step up in trip now handicapping. They Want Me is another handicap debutant who could raise his game tried in a tongue-tie.
