Verdict

OSCAR HILL was fifth in a Fairyhouse handicap on his latest start. He was only beaten four lengths, having been sent off favourite, and can get back to winning ways dropped in grade here. Right Stuff also has sights lowered but Kack Handed was beaten in a Hexham seller last time and Bin End was pulled up on his reappearance at Ludlow, though did win twice in this grade at that track in the spring. Nether Stream won a seller over C&D in August and Xenophon could figure but the others appear to have plenty to find.
