Verdict
David Pipe's Just Supposin showed enough in one start in a bumper and again on his latest start over hurdles to suggest that he can be good enough to land this which he is taken to do at the main expense of Lincoln's Inn and Very Cool. The last mentioned, a stablemate of the selection showed only a modicum of ability on his only start in a bumper and is probably best watched. A market move for useful flat recruit Hiddensee would be of interest although lack of hurdling experience is of concern. Act Gold similarly has yet to race over hurdles, while Clova Star has shown only a modicum of ability in bumpers. Lincoln's Inn looks to be going the right way and has to be respected but Just Supposin has solid form claims and is hard to oppose.
