Verdict

Some top yards are represented by long term projects and this can be narrowed down to TOKAY DOKEY, Smugglers Blues, Dostal Phil, Kitkat, Neachells Bridge and Monsieur Lecoq. The latter comes from a stable that had a 20/1 winner in a similar race on Sunday and the face value of his last outing puts him firmly in the picture. Smuggler's Blues has the best overall hurdling form, whilst Dostal Phil is an expensive buy who will need to jump better than on his debut. Kitkat and Neachells Bridge need to improve but are capable of doing so, however the selection looked above-average when taking his bumper and can take this en-route to better things.
  1. Tokay Dokey
  2. Smuggler's Blues
  3. Monsieur Lecoq
