In depth

Verdict

This doesn't look the strongest of events despite the size of the field and Holland Park can come out on top. The son of Roselier showed the benefit of experience when stepping up on his initial start to finish a close second here in December and the step up in trip should prove ideal. Supreme Piper faced a stiff task and ran accordingly on his hurdling debut behind Rhinestone Cowboy at Cheltenham in December. The five-year-old improved to finish runner-up behind Our Vic (winner since) at Taunton last time and is another who will prove well suited by the extra distance. Kosovko needs to improve on his bumper form to take a hand but Blood Sub showed ability on his Folkestone debut and shouldn't be far away if taking to hurdling. Newcomer Oyster Shell represents a top yard and makes plenty of appeal on breeding so should be closely monitored in the market.
