RACING POST VERDICT

The vote goes to JIMMY HURDSTROM to get on the scoreboard after his good third over C&D in March. The main danger is Il Va De Soi.

Racing Post Pick
Jimmy Hurdstrom
Our Expert Tip

A very open looking race for the fourth on the card, but NORMAN FLETCHER catches the eye dropping into a much easier grade.
He now races off a mark of 114 having once been rated 129 and if he can rediscover some of that old ability then he looks capable of winning a race like this at a very decent price.

Rain cap will be all the rage in the betting, but again when isn\'t it. was 2/1 beaten fav last time out and essentially is 4lb worse off here, Im going to take an eachway gamble on BULLINGTON BRY switch stables last time out and well supported in the market, the 1st time blinkers were slapped on and seemed to do an ok job, I would prefer this horse to potentially get a bit more cover, he will stay 7F/1m and has the speed to tuck in if needed. the race is not great and if Jessica Macey can squeeze a bit more out of this horse on his 2nd run he could go close, of a career low marl and 4 places on offer at 15/2 happy to have an eachway play on this.
