Quite a few of these are on potentially winning marks, and we will side with Alpine Hideaway, who can get the better of Summer Stock and stable companion Dormy Two. John Wainwright's gelding is not getting any younger but has put in a couple of tremendous efforts on the flat recently. He was a close up third to Emperor's Well in a Beverley handicap last time and appears very well treated on the best of his previous hurdles efforts. Dormy Two has finished placed in two decent hurdles at Wetherby and Huntiingdon earlier this summer and if fit following a four month break she should be in the shake up. Summer Stock rarely runs a bad race and put in another sterling effort when second to the well regarded Sninfia last time, he could be the one to bustle up the selection. Recent Worcester scorer Sir Walter can also be given a squeak here, but the Wainwright stable look to a strong hand here and Alpine Hideaway gets the verdict.
