Verdict

OFFICER HOOLIHAN may be penalised for scoring over track and trip last year but none of today’s opposition have looked like winning yet. Tim Vaughan’s charge is difficult to oppose despite having his first start since October. Skipthescales was second here recently but a long way behind the winner. He may still prove the main danger unless the likes of Barton Knoll, Arctic Vodka and Bonchester all show more now hurdling than they have so far in bumpers.
