      In depth

      Verdict

      Hostile Hotelier hasn't shown much in maiden/novice company and has to give weight all round. Lisloran won three times over fences last winter and will love the conditions. His last run in April is best ignored though this looks on the short side on his return to hurdling. Lacila Blue has shown some improvement in maidens the last twice and won't need much more though the three-year-old SHOW NO FEAR was placed over timber in Ireland and arrives in good form having finished second on the Flat at Newcastle a week ago.
