    Verdict

    A poor turnout for this novice hurdle and it looks a penalty kick for Inghwung who will start a short priced favourite. Inghwung was sent off joint favourite for what was a decent novice hurdle at Doncaster on his penultimate start, appearing not to get the trip. Dropped back in trip last time, he duely obliged when beating the well backed Aux Le Bahnn. He should land this at his ease. Mattaking is selected to chase the selection home. A 28,000 guineas purchase in December disappointed connections first time out in a Kempton bumper. Chasing is likely to be his game but the extra four furlongs will suit here. No prizes for guessing that Inghwung is our pick here.
