Acordello, Snake Rave and Lambrini Ledgend are three against the field in a competitive field and the vote is given to Acordello. The selection was a fair sort on the flat ran some good races in better company over hurdles last season and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Snake Rave rates the main danger as he was a fair fourth behind Gunner Jack on is debut is sure to improve and he should be closely watched in the market. Lambrini Legend has won his two bumpers in good style this season is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and he should be watched in the market. Anchors Away has shown enough in two runs to date to suggest he can win a race of this nature but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Devil's Disguise is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Acordello.
