Verdict

A chance is taken with HUNTERS PLOY, who gets the nod ahead of Tragic Realm and Aqualung. The last named is an interesting contender and looks a long term prospect for Charlie Mann to go to war with. This will hurdles debut will give the Lambourn-based trainer a good platform to launch the campaign from and the five-year-old is definitely one for the notebook Tragic Realm has plenty of experience from the Irish pointing scene and was unlucky to come up against the classy Aux Le Bahnn at Plumpton just before Christmas. Still, that was a good effort under a penalty, so he is no forlorn hope today. However, Hunters Ploy was quite impressive when he won his hurdles debut at Uttoxeter and was then far from disgraced in a Grade Two at Cheltenham. This is a more realistic target and Hunters Ploy is taken to relish this ease in grade
