Verdict
Teeton Priceless, Newby End & Tanager are the three to concentrate on here, with the first named receiving a tentative vote. Teeton Princess has been in tremendous form between the flags, should appreciate this ground and, if handling the regulation fences, will be vary hard to beat. Tanager has shown enough on occasions to be considered in this modest event. Bankit was pulled up in a recent point and is difficult to fancy on his first venture into this sphere. Newby End could be the main threat to our selection. This former decent hurdler still retains plenty of ability as he has shown on numerous occasions in better company than this. So not a race to get too involved in but we will side with Teeton Priceless.
