Verdict

IONIAN took a step forward from his hurdling debut effort when runner-up at Sandown 13 days ago, beaten only by the well-backed favourite, and he can continue his progress to go one better. The main danger could be The Boss Bear, who followed up his bumper win with the minimum of fuss switched to hurdles last time, ahead of Jury's In.
