Verdict

Favourites have won seven of the ten runnings of this and Paul Nicholls has placed three of his eight runners to advantage in it. With that in mind Grand Sancy has to be considered on his hurdling debut and in receipt of a handy allowance. His bumper form is only average, but this race is far from competitive. A lot hinges on how JURBY has come out of his return from a 30 month layoff. His second to Dr Des looks strong given that rival is now rated in the 140s. The selection looked ill at ease on the tight Stratford circuit that day, but remained a threat to the winner until the lack of a run began to tell. Oliver Sherwood's charge will take all the beating if running to that form in the most testing conditions he has faced. Inaminna and Big Fred look the pick of the rest.
