Race Overview
A competitive claiming hurdle with some former useful horses lining up. KAPTEEN (2) is top-rated and has competed in much stronger races recently. If he can get back to some kind of form of old, he will be hard to beat. IAMASTAR (6) will be no pushover and can make a race of it with the main selection. NINTH LOCH (1) also warrants respect and can give a good account of himself. NEVER RISK (5) makes up the shortlist.
Selection:
2 - 6 - 1
