Verdict

Baby Run has obvious claims and can defy a penalty to beat his main rival Mr Boo, with Wenceslas best watched on his hurdles debut. The Nigel Twiston-Davies stable has enjoyed a good season already and continues to tick over nicely, so it will be a shock if Baby Run does not add to his already impressive run of form. He kept company with some very decent animals in bumpers, notably Secret Ploy. Then having finished close up behind Escompteur and Marcel on his first two outings over timber, it was no surprise when he duly went one better at Haydock a fortnight ago, justifying odds-on favouritism in easy fashion. He has bags of speed according to his trainer and so will be kept at two miles for the time being. He will win a better race than this in time and only really has Mr Boo to contend with. Gary Moore's charge unseated two out after being hampered in the race won by Cornish Sett at Cheltenham, but had already thrown his chance away with a poor jump earlier, and even if he improves here, will have to settle for a place. Wenceslas will come on for his Warwick debut and is sure to have been well schooled, but Baby Run cannot be opposed.
