Verdict
Leslingtaylor gets the confident vote here with Plenty Cried Wolf and Indian Pipe Dream rating the main dangers. The selection was the best of these on the flat is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and with his yard in form he will be hard to beat.Plenty Cried Wolf rates the main danger as at least he has experiance over obstecales and he was a fair fourth behind Little Rocker but he has looked a short runner and is taken on with this in mind. Indian Pipe Dream was a fair fourth on his debut behind Kicks For Free and is sure to improve but his stable are woefuly out of form and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder High Caliber is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with . Corso Padalio has shown a modicum of ability but he will be handicaped after this run and that is where his future may lie and with this in mind for the winner we return to Leslingtaylor.
