Verdict

German import SEVENTH SKY made a promising hurdling debut at Ffos Las last month with a below-par Josh's Dreamway well behind. Charlie Mann's charge can get off the mark here with normal improvement. Bumper winner Grandioso didn't fare to badly on his first start over timber at Chepstow and can finish closer today, while Moorland Sunset scored at Exeter on his hurdling bow only to disappoint on his latest start. Old Tricks has won a bumper at this track but struggled in testing ground over hurdles at Chepstow. Theatre Guide will find this easier than October's introduction to hurdling at Ascot however.
