Verdict

THORPE has the form in the book with a win at at Haydock in November and finishing a respectable fourth behind Aso in a Grade 2 event at the same track last time. Lucinda Russell's charge may well be up to giving weight to maiden hurdle winner Frederic, who scored at Catterick in December. The selection's stablemate Jack Steel is partnered by McCoy for the first time but will need a big improvement on his recent fifth at Wetherby while Endless Credit will also need to step up from his hurdling debut at Catterick to get involved. Bumper winner Im Too Generous was well beaten on his hurdling bow at the same course.
