Verdict

A low-key opener in which Cheatingsideoftown looks the pick of those with previous hurdling experience on his fifth at Musselburgh in February. He didn't improve on that at Newcastle last month, however, and KEENELAND probably has more scope. He won a bumper on his debut under Rules at Musselburgh in January and handled give in the ground between the flags. Donald McCain's charge gets the vote though One For Harry, who has also shown promise in bumpers, could make life interesting.
