Verdict
A chance is taken that KUSADASI can build on his second at Uttoxeter last time. That was his best run off the year so far and David Pipe's charge finally looks set to make the most of his tumble down the weights. Quapriland scored over fences at Folkestone on his return to action and is not easily dismissed on only his fourth start over hurdles while Prince Pippin and Lucky Prince could both figure on their latest placed efforts. Me Fein has been in decent form in lesser company but needs more to get involved in this.
