Abzuson is taken to score here with Ibin St James and Union Deux put forward as the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Kingsbay over this course and distance and he is taken to get his head in front here with conditions very much in his favour. Ibin St James reverts to the hurdles after a spell over the bigger obstacles and he would have claims on the pick of his form. He is another that will have no problems dealing with today¿s conditions and he should go well, although the suspicion is that he would be slightly better over further. Union Deux has been a little disappointing in his last two starts but he had previously won well over this course and distance. He is prone to making errors and he will have to jump with a good deal more fluency than on his last two runs if he is to get his head in front. Star Time is another with claims on the pick of his hurdling form and for the winner we return to Abzuson.
