A very competitive handicap hurdle here with many in form rivals in opposition including Jim Bell, My Line and Westernmost and we will take a chance on the last named. The gelding from the Martin Todhunter yard has drooped to a handy mark and ran as if returning to form when fifth behind Moscow Dancer last time so he could be the value in a wide open affair. Jim Bell rates the main danger on his form of last season. He goes well fresh but he may just need the run after a 291 day absence. My Line is also worthy of respect he was affair sixth in a much better race behind Nathos last time. However he found little off the bridle and he may just be in the handicappers grip. Wild Romance is another that should go well as he was a fair fourth behind Welcome To Unos last time and will appreciate the step up in trip. Of the remainder Venture To Fly is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but in a hot contest we are happy to stick with Westernmost.
