Verdict

STAR IN FLIGHT was a little keen on his hurdling debut at Leicester but only finished half-a-length behind subsequent winner Monarch's Way. Donald McCain's four-year-old may be the one to beat in this if settling better today. Hurdling newcomer Becausewecan could be a danger as Mark Johnston doesn't have many NH performers in his yard and his charge has already won three times on the Flat this year up to 1m6f. Ejteyaaz wasn't disgraced when fifth at Carlisle last month and could have some scope while Needwood Park looks the pick of the juveniles.
