Verdict

Krasivi's Boy has solid claims and can finally rid himself of the maiden tag over hurdles; Prince Bere and Domenico look to be his main rivals, while Flower Haven has bits and pieces of form that gives him claims, so is worth considering for an each-way play. Domenico is of ordinary ability on the level and has never found winning to be a natural process. Still, he should enjoy the conditions and can go well at this level. As can Prince Bere, who is remains an unknown quantity and still seems to be acclimatising to British racing. He was a good third on his debut for David Pipe last July and a repeat performance would bring him into the reckoning. However, Krasivi's Boy has long threatened to win a race of this nature and, as he barely has to improve to do so in this company, Gary Moore's charge gets the vote on this occasion.
