Verdict

WORKING TITLE is preferred here to the penalised I Have Dreamed and the talented Kanad. The selection makes his debut over fences this afternoon and this 135-rated hurdler has the scope to make a decent impression over the bigger obstacles. His hurdling form is very solid and he looks to be starting off over the right trip at the right sort of track. Vogarth is making up the numbers despite the trainer's ability to provide shocks at the course, Safe Investment has been exposed as modest over fences, whilst the same applies to Musical Weld. Of more interest then is Kanad who ran well behind Somersby on his chasing bow at Warwick. There is unlikely to be anything of that horse¿s quality in this race and improvement can be expected with that experience under his belt. I Have Dreamed bumped into a smart one at Kempton last time out and is another who will appreciate this easier race; however he looked less than willing to actually put his head in-front last time and under his penalty he must be opposed. This looks a fine opportunity for Working Title to further improve Nicky Henderson's cracking course record.
