Amazing King looks the one to be with in this handicap hurdle and he is nominated over Kanonkop and Katies Tuitor. The selection has already won twice over hurdles and although he was only a maiden plater on the flat, he looks one to stay on the right side of in this sphere. The form of his Doncaster win has worked out well and he was impressive last time so he looks worth siding with here on ground that will certainly suit. Kanonkop put in a sound effort to chase home Arctic Wings last time and this lightly-raced filly is certainly worth considering here. She is going the right way and if she improves again then she should give our selection a race. Charlie Mann's 5-year-old Katies Tuitor is also worth a mention as he has got some solid form and he has his optimum ground conditions. However, he has been off the track since September and he may be sharper for this outing. Buster Hyvonen is a capable performer on his day and he has his ground today as well so he can go well at a price. However, this looks a good opportunity for Amazing King who is taken to score.
