Debenhams Handicap Hurdle (Conditional Jockeys/Amateur Riders) (GBB Race)
SHERMINATOR has been foot perfect over hurdles either side of a Cheltenham mishap, bolting up at Exeter most recently, and is the pick in this concluding contest. Harry Fry's gelding is progressing at a rate of knots and a subsequent 7lb rise does not look insurmountable, especially given his ability to handle all sorts of ground. Dan Skelton won this last year so Bangor winner Harry Lowes merits respect with that in mind, as does Irish challenger Captain Ryan Matt. Fred Winter fourth Pourquoi Pas Papa looks to have a chance in receipt of the juvenile allowance and don't rule out Static at a big price, given that he was tenacious in completing a double at Bangor last time out.
