Verdict

Son of Greek Myth, Nantucket Sound and Yankeedoodledandy are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to the last mentioned. The 3-year-old from the Pat Haslam yard is quite useful on the flat and he is sure to have been well-schooled for this his hurdling debut. This is not a race that will take a great deal of winning and he could be capable of making a winning debut over the obstacles. Son of Greek Myth should give him the most to do as he did show some promise on his hurdling debut when second behind Waltzing Beau at Fontwell last time. However, he will need to improve on that debut effort to take this. Nantucket Sound is the Martin Pipe representative here but he ran no sort of race on his hurdling debut in the race won by Waltzing Beau and he looks out of sorts at present. Love Triangle is from a yard that merits respect in these type of events, but we are happy to stick with Yankeedoodledandy as our idea of the winner.
