Verdict

AFRICAN DANCE gets the vote to double his tally over obstacles having confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut when scoring at Sedgefield last month. With further improvement a distinct possibility, he could be tough to beat. Cooper's Cross rates as an obvious danger after his promising debut third over C&D last month, while Hello Sunshine is respected on her hurdles bow.

  2. COOPER'S CROSS (IRE)
