Verdict
Tara Iti won this last year but finished a long way behind INFERNO SACREE here in January. The latter bids for a hat-trick of course victories having subsequently beaten Mickyh by over five lengths. Good Time Ahead returned from an absence with a victory at Lingfield where Tommy Dillion unseated while Martin Spirit found one too good at Leicester though has yet to win over hurdles in 20 attempts.
