Verdict

SUGAR ROAD was capable of fairly-useful form on the level and appeals as the type to do better now sent handicapping in this sphere. He gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Drop Kick, Cher Monsieur and Junkyard Dog make up the shortlist.

No impact in a trio of starts over timber but fared best of those held up when fifth in novice at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 80/1) 20 days ago and likely has more to offer on handicap hurdle debut. 1st Pick 3 Sugar Road Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Jonjo & A.J.
