Verdict

Dunlough Bay has found life hard in pattern races since scoring at Lingfield in November and this is tougher than the race Timesishard won at Market Rasen three weeks ago where he just got the better of Fiddlers Bid. Ugly Bug won a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las last time but will need to step up on that so the vote goes to UXIZANDRE. Alan King's charge has returned a losing favourite in both starts this year but edges it at the weights in today's contest and is just preferred to Woodford County. The latter won on his hurdling debut at Towcester and there should be more to come from him.
