In depth

Verdict

Double Default gets a solid vote here, with Jack The Blaster and Allegedly So possibly the ones to prove best of the rest. Double Default has shown a good level of hurdling form, including when beating the odds-on Ballabriggs at Ayr on soft over two-and-a-half miles last time. The step up in trip today should present no difficulties and he looks to be the one to beat. With Jack The Blaster yet to build on his bumper successes, Allegedly So needing to build on his recent form and the others not having shown too much, this looks a good opportunity for Double Default to gain another win and, accordingly, he gets the vote.
