Verdict

Solighoster, Oscarteea and JOE FARRELL all share the same handicap mark.The former makes his seasonal debut and chasing bow while Oscarteea was well beaten at Worcester on his first start over fences but has placed back over timber since. But preference is for Rebecca Curtis’ charge in this as he ran well for a long way at Chepstow last month on his chasing bow and should have benefited from both the outing and the experience. Dan Emmett is fit from the Flat and may prove best of the remaining trio.
