In depth

Verdict

A field large in numbers but low in quality and the principals look to be Second Paige, Air Of Confusion and itsdedfast and the confident vote goes to Second Paige. The gelding from the Neil Graham yard won well last time out when defeating Envious in good style and although he has a penalty for that win he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Air Of Confusion rates a danger he was a fair third on his debut over hurdles behind Kidithou and he appeared not to stay a longer trip last time with the drop in distance sure to suit he will not be far away. Itsdedfast would have a chance on his bumper form but he was very disappointing on his first attempt over hurdles so he may be best watched here unless the market speaks in his favour. Of the remainder Yellow Soil Star is an Irish raider that is worth noting in the market but he appears to have had plenty of chances and for that reason he is opposed and we are happy to stick with Second Paige.
