Verdict

In a tricky little maiden hurdle to open up proceedings INTENSIFIER gets the vote after a decent run last time in similar conditions while Bella Haze and Seefin Mountain are rated as the dangers. The selection put in a greatly improved effort last time to finish a clear second behind the useful enough looking Carrick Boy. That came on similar testing conditions that he'll face here and although he'd ideally like further he has less to do to win this time around. Bella Haze was a winning pointer and dual bumper winner who was a little disappointing on debut over timber last time. She took a keen hold early in that race which may have cost her at the finish and although the result reads as a bit weak it is some of the better heavy ground form of any of these. Seefin Mountain is one who would ideally like faster ground but did show ability when running on well to claim a runners-up spot last time out. Despite the going being a little bit of an unknown the stamina test may suit. Prince Sabaah has shown ability and is from a yard in form so has to be respected too but Intensifier is the one for us here.
