Verdict
Whipcrackaway and Mcvicar have both been in winning for over hurdles this winter but neither looks particularly well treated back on the Flat. Smokey Oakey looks a light of former days while Gaelic Silver has a bit prove at present but there is nothing wrong with CONDUCTING's recent form and he's on a hat-trick over course and distance after stepping out of claimers to win a handicap last month. Only raised 4lb, he can continue his run. Wolverhampton fourth Dazzling Valentine should also be thereabouts and Safwaan has been knocking on the door here lately and is another to consider ahead of Super Duplex and Aviso.
