Race preview
With Jordan Gainford taking 7lb off his back it looks to give PETIT MOUCHOIR a great chance here. The gallant grey has shown he retains plenty of ability this season and ran a cracker in an ultra competitive handicap at Cheltenham last time when finishing second to Belfast Banter in the County Hurdle. He deserves to get his head back in front now. With a mark of 155 he is officially the best of these. Bapaume is rated 1lb lower but has to carry a penalty and has a nice chunk of weight to concede when you take claims into the equation. Davids Charm wouldn't have a lot to find at his best and looks one for minor money.
