Tanners Hall gets the confident vote here with Eurocelt and Caged Tiger rating the main dangers. The selection scored in a point in his only run to date in facile fashion he is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and under conditions that suit he is taken to win this before going on to much better things. Eurocelt rates the main danger as he won a beginners chase in goods style last time out when beating Holland Park. He returns to hurdles and in a poor race he has definite place claims. Caged Tiger was a fair third when last seen behind Nobody Tells Me but the suspicion is he may need the run after a 583 day break. Morgan The Mighty could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers while Doctor Kilbride was a fair third behind Levitski last time and is another with place claims but he will be handicapped after this and that is where his future may lie and for the winner we return to Tanners Hall who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
