Verdict

A trappy affair and Jazz Dance is put forward as our selection with Croon, Go Solo and Twist Bookie all entering calculations. Jazz Dance has looked a progressive sort in the main and it is certainly interesting that Charlie Mann elects to return to hurdling with him after a win over chase fences. He acts well enough on the surface. Croon showed well last time out under a lady amateur. Adam Pogson may be able to persuade him to put in more. Go Solo seems to act on any surface. He is watched in the market for any signs of confidence. Twist Bookie won on the bridle at Warwick under similar conditions. The market will tell us how far forward he is on reappearance. Daraybad does not look particularly genuine and is avoided. King's Head is capable but frustrating. Noble Raider has had leg problems in the past but he looked to have left them all behind him when successful at Sandown. Morning Farewell is a rare hurdles runner for Peter Chapple-Hyam. Many chances held and Jazz Dance looks best placed to prosper.
