Verdict

A competitive 2m handicap hurdle, with no fewer than four of the runners coming into the race as last time out winners. Of that quartet, Mirsaale (weight) and Cool Mix (grade/ground) are most vulnerable. Sakhee's City disappointed at Carlisle last week, whilst the classy mare Smart Talk may require more time, so the trio to concentrate upon are MASTER OF IRONY, Joke Dancer and Reverant Cust. With the latter named duo closely matched and gradually sneaking up the weights, the selection falls on the John Quinn trained runner. He holds some lofty entries in the weeks ahead, but should be fresh following a light campaign, and he ran an absolute blinder to get within just over 2L of High Bridge in the Listed Gerry Feilden Hurdle at Newbury in early December.
