This is a very modest looking contest and Gunadoir should be up to the task, Another Jameson and Bobatim may provide most danger. Following three fairly promising efforts in bumpers the selection made a very pleasing hurdles debut when runner up to Westgrove Berry. She hasn't really progressed from that effort but her overall form suggests she should be capable of landing a contest of this nature. Another Jameson ran well over this trip at Leicester back in November when chasing home Our Joycey, a repeat of that effort should see her involved in the finish. Bobatim has a bit to find with the selection on recent running but was making her debut and is entitled to improve. The debutante Miss Shred Easy will not have to be anything special to figure here and so keep a watch on the market. However the safest option here appears to be Gunadoir and she gets our vote.
