Verdict

A wide open handicap hurdle and DISTILLER is the selection to land it for the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard; the main dangers appearing to be Tot Of The Knar, Simondium and Indian Pipe Dreamer. Distiller looked to have found the extended two-mile trip on the sharp side at Bangor last time and has always shaped as one that would appreciate a trip in time. Being a small type, the fact he carries under 11 stone is also a positive. Tot Of The Knar switches to handicap company for the first time and is 4lb worse off with Simondium for beating it by six lengths. This race is on a much different surface and one suspects that Alison Thorpe's charge is on an upward curve. Indian Pipe Dream bids for the hat-trick here after justifying odds-on favouritism last time out. He is a strong traveller and suited to races of this nature while others to enter calculations include Warsaw Pact and the top-weight Bureaucrat.
