Verdict

Master Nimbus gets the confident vote in this handicap hurdle with Prince Picasso and Kings Revenge rating the main dangers. The selection has won his last two races in facile fashion notably when beating Sir Boreas Hawk. Granted he has risen in the weights but he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to win again. King's Revenge rates the main danger on his latest second behind Laustra Bard but he may just need the run after a 192 day break. Prince Picasso is another that could go well on his latest third behind Dingle Belle and with his shrewd Irish yard in form he should be watched in the market . Folk Tune is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he usually comes on for the run. Motive was high class at his best but only had one run last season so he has obviously had his problems. Of the remainder Peacock was a fair second behind the well handicapped Herecomestanley last time and is another with place claims but for the winner we are happy to return to the progressive Master Nimbus.
