This is a tight and competitive Handicap and at the head of the market we have Headscarf Lil, a nice winner for Nicky Richards over 2 miles 4 furlongs last time and raised 3 pounds, in terms of proven stamina though for this trip on one of the toughest finishing climbs in the UK, the jury must be out until proven. The Ogle Gogle Man also carries a penalty for a win last time, is generally though a consistent horse and sure to be competitive.

 

When winning last time it beat STYLISH MOMENT who was making it's Stable debut for Lucinda Russell and although carrying into the race some recent Irish runs, one who looks sure to come on for the run and for having had a few more weeks in his new home. The Russell charge gets a 5lb pull for 4 and a half lengths and I take it to come on enough to turn the tables and go very close here.

 

Stolen Money for Donald Whilans is one to watch and Track onwards but i just feel it will need the run today before continuing some good progressive Spring form.

 

The other one for an investment though is TOMORROWS ANGEL, very versatile and race fit from Flat and NH and a horse who has been runner up over 3 miles and 3 furlongs off marks of 97 and 105 over Hurdles and well as winning over 2 miles 6 furlongs off a mark of 100. It runs off 107 here and with race fitness and that proven stamina looks sure to go close if getting luck in running and running up to that kind of proven form.
