LOOSEN MY LOAD comes out best on official ratings and is difficult to oppose. A classy bumper and novice hurdler, he won his first three races over fences before tackling top company and this represents a huge drop in class. Like Beau Michael, he has a Grade 3 penalty to overcome but the latter was beaten a distance on the Flat earlier this month and may need another run or two. Sebadee scrambled home in a minor event at Tramore before a poor effort over timber while Adams Island is much more of a staying type and will do better when getting a stiffer test of stamina.
