    Verdict

    A winner at Ludlow in October, Pistolet Dove at least has recent winning form to his name and shouldn't be ignored. Southwell fourth Hot Tottie may be suited by the shorter distance, but Trump Call hasn't shown much since returning from injury and course winner Sea Saffron was pulled up on a return visit here on his latest start in May. Uncle Bunge was tailed off at Fontwell last month so we're going to nail our colours to the mast of HOLYROOD, who is visored for the first time over hurdles and probably capable of improving on the form he's shown so far.
