Verdict

Unpenalised for last week's impressive Kempton success, this looks a good opportunity for HIGH FIBRE to follow up. Jack Hyde has his sights lowered and looks a danger.

6	Having been dropped in grade following 3-month break, he ran out an impressive winner of a Kempton handicap last Monday. Quick turnaround unlikely to be an issue (didn't have a hard race) and needs serious consideration off an unchanged mark. 1st Pick 6 High Fibre (Ire) Jockey: C. P. O'shea Trainer: Harry Fry J: C. P.

1	Three-time hurdle winner was in better company when placing on his first 3 starts in handicaps, and while he found the Imperial Cup at Sandown too competitive last time, he must be of interest dropped into this grade. 2nd Pick 1 Jack Hyde (Ire) Jockey: Tom Broughton Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Tom Broughton T: Fergal O'brien	96	-	-	-	42%

4	Fairly useful bumper/maiden hurdle winner has the demeanour of a 2m chaser but again disappointed (following second breathing operation) over fences at Sedgefield last time. Has the ability but will need to settle better with tongue strap back on for handicap hurdle debut. 3rd Pick 4 Roysse Jockey: Kielan Woods Trainer: Ben Pauling J: Kielan Woods T: Ben Pauling	99	-	-	-	8%
