Verdict

RUDIVALE landed a gamble for connections here on his penultimate start and dropped in class here from his last start, he can win it for the Tizzard family. His victory was achieved on a sounder surface here and while the ground was much softer at Aintree, he has showed some decent form on easier surfaces in the past. Pocketwood returns to hurdling after an autumn campaign on the level. He revels with some 'juice' in the ground and is 7lb higher for his last hurdles victory. Red Perfection returns from a summer break. She sprung a surprise by winning on her final start last season and she does not seem to have been unduly punished by the assessor for that victory. I'm A Legend is a regular at this venue and appears as if he will be suited by the step up in trip here. He tends to get outpaced at the business end of his races over two miles. Rudivale is given the vote to win it.
