Verdict

LA HIGUERA showed a willing attitude when seeing off Moveonbuy at Wetherby 11 days ago and boasting the more likeable profile of the pair, he is taken to uphold that form. Of the rest, Bobalot seems sure to give another good account of himself.

4	Placed in Irish points and off the mark over hurdles at Wetherby 11 days ago having been placed on all 3 previous handicap starts, edging ahead in dying strides.

7	Much improved when winning handicap at Cartmel (22f, heavy) in June and right back to her best when edged out by La Higuera at Wetherby 11 days ago. Shouldn't be much between the pair again. 2nd Pick 7 Moveonbuy Jockey: William Maggs Trainer: Andrew Crook J: William Maggs T: Andrew Crook	97	-	-	-	13%

2	Finished third in his last 3 starts, most recently at Fontwell (9/1) 22 days ago, seemingly going best when caught on the inner before being outstayed by the front 2.
