    Verdict

    I'M IN THE PINK is the percentage call to take this handicap hurdle, possibly at the expense of Alazan and Danny Zuko although Numide will doubtless attract his share of support. The last mentioned is well handicapped on his best efforts but appears to be keeping a bit to himself and found almost nothing last time. With quicker ground against him too, Gary Moore's charge is overlooked in favour of I'm In The Pink. Our selection won well last time despite being hampered and whilst he's got a 9lb rise to contend with our feeling is he'll prove up to the task with conditions ideal and Christian Williams back in the plate. There are a couple of interest dangers, primarily Alazan who disappointed when sent off favourite for his handicap debut last time but represents a strong team and had previously done well. He'll be given another chance by many but our inclination is to oppose him on this occasion. Danny Zuko won a bumper here and looks fairly treated on his return from a winter holiday with conditions ideal. Ffos Las Diamond is nicely in on his maiden hurdle victory over the now decent Fistral Beach and has AP back in the saddle so keep an eye on the market with him, whilst Dishdasha has always looked like he can win off this sort of rating when things drop right. This competitive contest can go to David Evans and I'm In The Pink.
