A wide open affair in which many can be given chances on there best form. Dantie Boy is the selection. He is from a yard in top form is proven on the ground and he was a good second behind Robyn Alexander last time out, a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat despite top weight. Big Quick rates the main danger he was a good second behind Central Committee last time and he is receiving over a stone from Dantie Boy. However his best form is with cut in the ground and for that reason he is over looked. Boring Goring has been running well over fences of late but he may not have enough toe to play a leading role on his return to hurdles. Red Lion is from a top yard and although he has shown some ability he appears to have enough weight for what he has actually achived. Whats The Count would be worthy of consideration on his best form but that has all come on much softer ground. Capriolo is a course winner but he has never won over a trip this far. Of the remainder Redouble is on a handy mark but he is still a maiden over hurdles after 18 attempts.
