Isle de Maurice has to be respected having won well in a selling handicap on Lingfield's Polytrack last week but Gary Moore's gelding does not look to be particularly well treated back over hurdles today and it may be worth taking a chance on the form and fitness of PRINCE DU SEUIL, who gets the vote ahead of Galoshes. The eight-year-old is relatively unexposed after just six career starts and the gelding has to be considered having run well in a novices' handicap hurdle over course and distance last month. Good For Blue is similarly lightly raced but needs to improve on all known form and of more interest may be Richard Lee's Cadoudalas, who has been running consistently well in recent starts. Ian Williams has his string in good heart but his runner, Cash For Honours, disappointed on his latest start in December and now looks best watched. Alan King's Pagano is entitled to come on for his reappearance run at Leicester in November but needs to and preference is for stable companion Prince du Seuil, who has his first start March last year but he does handle plenty of cut in the ground and looks worth backing with the stable's runners in good form.
