        Verdict

        For Pleasure is eased in grade having a first start for new connections. He takes no prisoners so should be suited by this sharp track but SERGEANT WILSON’s only win over hurdles to date came over this course and distance and he is another who will be up with the pace from the outset. Western Soldier, prolific on the Flat, won over hurdles at Plumpton in October but was very disappointing taking on handicap company at that track subsequently. State Of Bliss likes it here and slips further down the weights but has been out of sorts.
