      In depth

      Verdict

      Bumper winner HOLYRALE has finished second in both starts over timber so far and can go one better. He came up against the progressive Coole Cody last time, who has won again since. Hatem’s jumping let him down at Huntingdon back in May but he finished much closer at the same track earlier while Ataman and stablemate Red House Hill share the same rating on the Flat with the former making his hurdling debut. Theclockisticking is another newcomer to hurdles but has placed in bumpers and makes more appeal than St Patrick's Day.
