Verdict

A big field for the opener, but as far as punting is concerned we can narrow this down to a handful. Paul Nicholls-trained Howdydoody is clearly one to respect after a soft ground Taunton success last time out, but he has been given a tough task on his handicap debut and as he is also unproven on decent ground he is overlooked here. Instead our vote goes to the hat-trick seeking Octagonal. The six-year-old has bags of hurdling experience in big fields in his native Ireland and makes his English debut here. Over a stone higher than when winning on his penultimate start at Roscommon, he gets the good ground he loves here and should be able to see out the trip and complete the hat-trick. Prince De Galles is not without a chance, based on his course and distance success in similar conditions back in November 2000. However, he has had plenty of chances off similar marks since then and not managed a repeat, though he did score off 8lb lower on his penultimate start. A win looks a big ask here though. Joly Bois is proving a bit expensive to follow and is best watched until showing the sort of promise that keeps attracting money, while Robber looks to be on a fair mark for his handicap debut and if he handles the ground then he should be thereabouts. Watch for any market support.
