Verdict

Noble Warrior has failed to figure since winning at Uttoxeter in November but Tight Call went close again at Wetherby last time having made a winning start over hurdles. HOGAN’S HEIGHT has struggled since notching-up a hat-trick over timber but a recent wind operation may see Jamie Snowdon’s charge bounce back to form in which case he should be bang there at the finish on today’s terms. Hurdles newcomer Dadsinluck has also undergone wind surgery since last in action but the unexposed Vamanos is preferred on a recent third at Bangor.
