In depth

Verdict

A very hard race to asses and the betting market might provide the best clues. Golden Chimes was the best of these over hurdles but has an absence to overcome. Boulta is a recent point winner. Ridegway is fully entitled to consideration on his hurdling form. As such, and with a very good rider booked, he gets the vote.
