Park Lane Princess is an interesting newcomer but on this occasion we will side with known form and plump for Urban Tiger, Cheveley Flyer is also expected to run well. Alan King's gelding was successful on the flat at Windsor in August off a mark of 77 and made a promsing hurdles debut earlier this month. He was no match for the winner who recorded a very fast time, but was a long way clear of the rest. That could be decent juvenile form and with improvement expected he looks the one to be on. Park Lane Princess was a modest performer on the flat for David Simcock but is now with a top jumps yard and should be watched closely in the market. Cheveley Flyer hit winning form at Ludlow last time, beating Tora Petcha fairly easily. He has to give weight away all round but should still be involved in the finish. The pick of the others should be Herald Angel, but Urban Tiger should progress enough to land a race of this nature and he he gets our vote.
