7/2
Although he did lose his unbeaten record when an underwhelming warm favourite (sent off 10-11f) on handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f; soft), he should at least give The Cashel Man a race. Looked one to follow prior to recent defeat.

1/6
21lbs clear of his nearest rival (Minella Trump on official ratings), after he posted a career best last time out when runner-up to the above-average Thyme Hill in the Grade 1 'Challow Novices' Hurdle'. That is easily the best form on offer.

100/1
Impossible to fancy given how little he has shown in his short career so far. Ran in accordance with market odds (sent off 200-1) when tailed off at Chepstow (2m; heavy) on second hurdles start. Best watched against far more promising rivals.

Forecasts

The Cashel Man (1/6), Minella Trump (7/2), Battlefield (100/1)

Verdict

Another small-field affair with THE CAHSEL MAN likely to be a warm order judged on the form of either of his two hurdle runs this season, with his recent second in a Grade 1 novice hurdle the standout form on offer in a race severely lacking depth. Minella Trump has a point to prove after he suffered an odds-on reverse at Catterick most recently, when losing his unbeaten record in the process. He has 21lbs to find with the selection on official ratings, but is comfortably next-best ahead of Battlefield who is yet to show any considerable promise in his career so far.
