Verdict

Basic Fact is a horse in form so must be feared, however we will side with Kings Signal, with Warningcamp and Anemix making up the shortlist. The last named is a real enigma of a horse and has become frustrating for punters. He does have form over this course however and if benefiting from his latest run in a valuable race at Newbury, he must have each-way claims. Warningcamp should come on for his last run at the end of November, and so must have leading claims. He has made just four starts over hurdles and hasn't been disgraced in any of them so although he looks on a stiff enough mark, he should go well. Basic Fact cruised to victory just eight days ago, however this drop in trip doesn't appear to be ideal and with the form of that last win looking average, the call must be to take him on at a short price. Our selection Kings Signal hasn't won in seven attempts over hurdles, however he was far from disgraced last time out in a decent contest and looks to hold the most solid form. He has been dropped a pound for that effort and so he gets our vote to finally get his head in front.
