Race Verdict
Ukrainian Star completed a hat-trick when winning at Towcester last time but the handicapper hit him with a 10lb rise for that success and he might find life tougher now. MUMBLES HEAD returned to form with a solid second at Ffos Las earlier this month and might now be able to take advantage of his very fair handicap mark while Sir Tamburlane is gradually getting the hang of chasing and he can also take a hand.
Selection: Mumbles Head
Danger: Sir Tamburlane
Alternative: Ukrainian Star
