Verdict

A few of these have shown good form over hurdles so far but it may be worth giving OK CORRAL another chance. Beaten off the back of an absence at Newbury last time out Nicky Henderson's charge has still shaped with plenty of promise up to now and with the benefit of that run should have plenty more to offer. This won't be an easy task though, with the likes of Marten, for the newly in-form Ben Pauling, and the very unexposed Chosen Path among the competition.
