Verdict

A poor race overall with few that can be fancied. Chief among these has to be Inch Perfect. He was a different class to these on the Flat and, while his hurdling career has been a little disappointing, if he can transfer even a little of his ability to fences on his chasing debut, he must go close. Runner Bean and Red Hustler cannot be entirely ruled out while Jorn du Soleil showed promise at Wetherby last week in a better event. As such, he gets the vote.
