A field large in numbers but low in quality and on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning but the principals look to be Whispered Secret, Tulipa and Bunter Barlow and the confident vote goes to Whispered Secret. The selection was far more fluent over his hurdles last time out when defeating I D Technology and with this in mind he is taken to score despite his double penalty under conditions that suit. Tulipa rates the main danger he won well on his hurdling debut when defeating Averse and he is sure to improve but he will do well to defeat the selection. Bunter Barlow is another worthy of respect he won over 9 furlongs on the flat and he is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut so he is worth a cautionary look in the market. Of the remainder Euro American was fourth behind Zonergem last time and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Whispered Secret.
