This is a seller packed with hurdlers who struggle to get their heads in front. Southwell third Nellie The Elegant must have a chance eased in grade while Sweet World is still capable at this level. Bit it's hard to have much faith in Bob's Legend, Spin Cast and Supernoverre while Tenby Jewel has lost her way. David Pipe sent out last year's winner and though PRINCE OF POETS is at the opposite end of the handicap he might be the one to beat. Bulletproof will probably be thereabouts again without being quite good enough.
