Verdict

KINGOFTHEWEST sets a good standard on form and David Pipe's son of Westerner is hard to look beyond in his bid to make it 2-3 in this sphere. Sadler's Bay showed up well on his hurdling bow when third over C&D and is feared most, although a market move for Harry Fry's hurdling-newcomer Ben Bulben would put a slightly different slant on things.
