Verdict
It's more than four years since Dusty Trail last won over hurdles but this will be his first run for John Butler. Exemplary and Seaside Shuffle are both well treated on past form but haven't shown much lately. An Capall Mor, on the other hand, won at Uttoxeter last month so must have some sort of chance. DOUBLE U DOT EDE'S is still a maiden but is less exposed than most and is dropped back in grade for this. The Fontwell third could be the one to beat under promising claimer Charlie Deutsch.
