Course specialist Jamaican Flight would be a romantic winner of this prize but we will look elsewhere today. Snowmore hails from the in-form Sue Smith yard and is given the nod on this occasion. Although his recent races have been over further, he has some track experience and this could prove decisive today. Front-running Noshananakin is the danger to the selection. He has won before for Richard McGrath and provided he doesn't make a horlicks of the hurdling, the handicapper is giving him a chance today's weights. Formal Bid is in form but his recent Leicester victory should be treated with caution as it was off a very slow pace. Renzo is the one to watch in the market while Beaver Lodge (who has won on a faster surface) looks one to avoid despite the presence of Noel Fehily on board.
