Verdict

Grasscutter has run well when finding just one too good in each of his last two starts and Don McCain's gelding can be expected to be thereabouts again today, but he may once more have to settle for minor honours with a better bet looking to be DANCING MIST, who gets the nod with Sunnyhillboy rated the pick of the remainder. The selection was going well before falling on his hurdling debut at Hereford in February but lost no caste in defeat when narrowly beaten by Classic Moon at Perth subsequently and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice for Victor Dartnall's runner. Michael Scudamore's Silly Wupple looks to be going the right way but does need to improve on all known form to get involved at the finish, while Lancer Scott looks one of the lesser lights in the David Pipe yard. Jonjo O'Neill's Sunnyhillboy won his only start in a bumper and made a promising hurdling debut so he has to be strongly considered but it is Dancing Mist who gets the vote.
