Winner GBP £26,015 - 14 runners

Going: Good

Surface: T

Race Tip

A competitive handicap hurdle. It could pay to side with COUNTRY PARK (12) at the expected prices. He remains a maiden with hurdles but chased home a talented horse here last time and may have more to offer in first-time cheekpieces making handicap debut. ALTOBELLI (1) remains unbeaten both starts over this distance and may provide a bold bid to defy top weight after winning at this venue last month. JOYEUX MACHIN (3) holds some smart form in Ireland and cannot be ignored following an eye-catching third-place finish at Wetherby in latest. Aintree runner-up PATRIOTIK (11) might go well for a stable beginning to hit top stride.
