Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3) (GBB Race)
2m 4f
Going: Good to Soft (Good in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneWilde About Oscar has won four of his five starts so far this season, including a 16-length romp over C&D in November, and he must enter calculations, but narrow preference is for EDWARDSTONE. Alan King's charge has posted a number of solid efforts over timber this term, the most recent being a three-length defeat in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham three weeks ago, and he won his only previous visit here. With Kevin Brogan's claim taken into consideration, Whatsupwithyou is effectively 5lb lower than when placed in the Martin Pipe and he merits shortlist inclusion, while Solwara One, Amarillo Sky and Monte Cristo are other names to note.
