In depth

Verdict

Salsalino gets the vote here with Fantastic Arts and Prins Willem rated as the principle dangers. The selection justified his short price to score in easy fashion when beating Spread The Dream at Exeter. That was only his second run over hurdles and he should be capable of taking care of these rivals before going on to better things. Fantastic Arts seemed to be unsuited by the soft ground when he disappointed at Haydock last time, but he would have chances if he could reproduce his previous effort at Kempton and with this faster ground sure to suit he should go well. Prins Willem was once quite useful on the flat and if the switch to hurdling rekindled his enthusiasm for the game then he could be of interest on his hurdling bow, but Salsalino looks a cut above the rest here and is taken to lead them home.
