        Verdict

        From the shortlist of Monti Flyer, Rydon Lane, Jaseur, and, possibly, Oysterhaven in the handicap hurdle that closes the card, we will opt for Rydon Lane. Igloo d'Estruval is the sole course and distance winner in the race and, while that form is solid enough, he is now 10 pounds higher in the hurdling ratings and he tends to needs his seasonal return. The lightly-raced Monti Flyer ought to be competitive from his current mark, while each of Rydon Lane's wins has come at this venue and, given that he is four pounds above a winning mark but his rider claims seven, well, we reckon he has every right to go well having had a pipe-opener for the season. Jaseur is back to below the mark from which he won at Bangor in February 2003, so his chance cannot be dismissed. Oysterhaven is lightly raced so is entitled to make improvement. Classic China could improve for the step up to today's trip, and Esterelle has proven herself competitive from her current mark and makes a quick return to the track after chasing home The Sister at Uttoxeter four days ago, while Silent Guest has a bit to find with Igloo d'Estruval on Exeter form last time. However, in a race where stamina will be at premium, we will side with Rydon Lane.
