      Verdict

      BLACKFINCH has the stand-out form in this as he was runner-up in his first three hurdle starts last season before tackling Grade 3 company at Kempton in March. Dalkingstown, twice a winner between the flags, was a consistent sort in bumpers last season and should make a hurdler but has been off the track for 12 months. Bring The Action won a maiden point in February but Frankie Baby turned in a shocker in his latest start in a bumper so is best watched. Call Simon is preferred to Craic Magic of Nicky Martin’s two runners.
