Bormo looks the form choice and is taken to score at the expense of First Point and Weather Permitting. The selection has three runs to his name over hurdles and has caught the eye on all three. His latest outing saw him finish second to Ashkazar at Sandown in February and if showing the same level of form he would be difficult to oppose. First point comes from an in form yard and is another that is lightly raced with only three runs. He ran well enough at Newbury last time to warrant respect but will need to improve some what if he was to trouble the selection. Weather Permitting drops down in grade after getting well beaten behind Pigeon Island at Cheltenham last time out. Prior to thst though he had shown enough to win a race of this nature so he is to be noted in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Bormo.
