Verdict

A fairly modest contest with the weights headed by Urban Hymn. He ran in the Truiumph Hurdle in 2000 when under the care of Martin Pipe but he is surely one to watch after such a long absence. Redwood Grove has won over the trip but has something to prove after a moderate reappearance. Denarius looks plenty exposed off his current mark whilst Dellone, now a ten-year-old, is proven in the conditions but isn't the most consistent of performers. Colline De Feu finished second to Ifrane Belima at Uttoxeter on a heavy surface but she was a disappointing favourite at Warwick last time out. Pam Sly and Warren Marston are a formidable partnership at Leicester and their runner is selected as the TEAMtalk pick.
