GOING: H

Thenamesbond Mdn Stpl 3500m

Track: HEAVY11   Clear   Rail: Out 10m | 8mm rain last 24 hours.  

Big Meadsy may lead. Lot of very old jumpers in this and many out of form runners too. The winner has to be FAST CATCH with the 7yo a triple course winner and two of them came as a hurdler. First steeplechase run but very ready with gradual improvement in his form reading better and better. ISTIMAGIC has been placed five times here before. He may be a 12yo but can still be in the finish. BIG MEADSY has placed here three times. Place and first four chance. Magic Wonder can do something at his first jumps outing and the visitor is the sly one. Caballo Noir has had three jumps outings for a hurdle second here and two did not finishes. Chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tricky but leaning to Istimagic.
