Verdict

Factor Fifteen has the best form of these over hurdles and, while Howard Johnson's gelding has not always looked the most reliable of customers, he should be too good for his rivals here, the best of who look to be Silver Coin and All Rock Hard. The last mentioned has shown promise in novice company but has disappointed in handicaps of late and a bigger threat may come from Tim Easterby's Silver Coin who seemed not to stay 2m4f at Wetherby last time and has solid claims on earlier efforts behind King Revo and Kentucky Blue. Michaels Dream appeals most of the remainder but the vote goes to Factor Fifteen. The son of Hector Protector has failed to progress since his hurdling debut when second to Contraband but a reproduction of that effort should suffice here.
