In depth

Verdict

A particularly weak affair which will take little winning should go to Reel Dancer. The TEAMtalk selection showed useful form last season to be placed in bumpers at Chepstow and Sandown and will handle the testing conditions so looks the one to beat on his hurdling bow. Jasmin Guichois appears one of his stable's lesser lights but has a fitness edge and is effective on the ground so, added to his previous experience, may take the forecast spot ahead of Buzybakson who is unproven in testing conditions and lacks a recent outing.
