Swazi Prince is taken to land this weak event from One Five Eight and Janbre. This Nigel Twiston-Daivis trained gelding should have been successful at Uttoxeter last time, but managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when falling at the last with the race seemingly in the bag. With today's opposition seemingly of a similar calibre, he should be capable of taking first prize. Janbre has put in two good performances since returning from a break, including an excellent second to Miss Cospector. He should once again feature in the finish here. One Five Eight landed a couple of bumpers last season and has put up some decent displays in hurdles since, most notable a recent second behind Dark Ben at Sedgefield, he could be the one to chase home the confident choice, which is Swazi Prince.
