In depth

Verdict

Iwillrememberyou has shown gradual improvement over hurdles from limited opportunities and has to be respected but Charlie Longsdon's gelding is probably a shade high in the weights at present and preference is for Joaaci, with Spring Breeze rated the pick of the remainder. The selection has been doing most of his racing over fences and comes here on the back of a decent effort at Cheltenham when last seen in October. David Pipe has his string in fine form at present and Joaaci is taken to make the most of what looks a favourable mark back over hurdles. Lucy Wadham's Heir To Be has slipped to a decent mark and could be of interest stepping back up in trip but is hard to recommend on recent evidence, while Himalayan Trail has given little sign of encouragement in recent starts. Spring Breeze is capable but Ferdy Murphy's gelding is hard to back with confidence on recent form and a better bet looks to be Joaaci.
