Verdict

EL BORRACHO was out of sorts when last seen over jumps, yet the handicapper has afforded him a big chance and, entitled to be sharper for his reappearance on the Flat at Pontefract 3 weeks ago, he could be worth chancing at likely longer odds. All 3 of his rivals have reasons to recommend them however, with hat-trick seeking Hecouldbetheone fancied to play a lead role also.
