It may be worth taking a chance on Bolton Hall here unless he proves to be weak in the market. Those with more proven form include Dyneberg and Coronado's Gold with Gotno Destination another to keep an eye on. The selection has been kept busy on the level of late and hasn't really been excelling. All in all, he has a little to prove on his hurdling debut market confidence from his shrewd yard would be significant and the booking of O'Regan suggests that a big run is expected. Brennan and George was a profitable combination to follow last season and Dyneburg has fair claims following his third in this grade at Fakenham last time. Coronado's Gold has been well held the last twice on the level but is no forlorn hope by any means whilst Gotno Destination was well backed to win a similar contest over course and distance in October and has to be of interest on his first start for this yard. An interesting race for the grade with Bolton Hall the one to be with if the vibes are positive.
