Wise Tale, Migration and Alpine Hideaway are three against the field in this competitive handicap hurdle and the vote goes to Migration. The selection won a seller in good style last time out when Dabus and although this is much more competitive he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Wise Tale rates the main danger he was a fair fourth behind Ask Me What last time off this mark and this looks less competitive and he will not be far away. Alpine Hideaway is another that could go well he has been in fair form on the flat of late and but his last effort over hurdles when third behind Magic Box leaves him with plenty to find. Latensaani is another that could go well he as he is one of the least exposed in the field and he is from a yard in form and despite the fact that this is his first run in 452 days he is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Art Point was a fair second behind Almnadia last time but just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip and for the winner we return to Migration.
