Verdict
Rebecca Curtis' pair Fishoutofwater and The Merry Giant have proved a big disappointment over hurdles so far but Trade On is expected to improve now he tackles hurdles and Street Dance has shown promise in a couple of decent bumpers. Mariinsky's last two runs have left a lot to be desired, while Midnight Tuesday has been off the track since contesting the Grade 1 Sefton Novices' Hurdle at Aintree last April though his very presence in that line-up suggests connections hold him in some regard. Preference here though is for DI KAPRIO, whose third to Sprinter Sacre at Ascot suggests a race like this should be within his compass.
