Verdict

It will be interesting to see how the market shapes up for David Pipe's Babe Maccool, who is probably better than he showed on his hurdling debut at Stratford, but more solid claims are held by Hopeful Purchase who gets the vote with Wheelavit rated the pick of the remainder. The selection was useful on the flat when with Willie Haggas and showed plenty of encouragement on his hurdling debut for Evan Williams when chasing home Trafalgar Man at Cartmel last month. With further improvement to come, Hopeful Purchase looks the one to be on. Formerly with Amanda Perrett, Loch Quest is an interesting newcomer for Philip Hobbs, while Russian Consort has so far given little sign of encouragement over hurdles. Brendan Powell's Wheelavit has shown a consistent level of form in recent starts and he has to be respected but Hopeful Purchase has solid claims and he is preferred.
