Crimson Canyon was disappointing last time after a promising debut so we give the vote to YEOMANRY who will appreciate the drop back in trip with Admiral Dundas looking to improve after a first try over the hurdles at this course. Yeomanry offers the most appeal with stamina likely to have come on for a run at Hexham and plenty of pace in the pedigree. Ian Williams has a 40% record so far this year at Worcester and the locally based trainer has every chance with Yeomanry to land this contest. The Champion Jockey retains the ride on Crimson Canyon and a much improved effort can be expected than at Newton Abbot last month where the Jonjo O'Neill gelding was never fluent. Admiral Dundas has shown plenty of pace on the flat and wasn't disgraced on his hurdling debut with a fourth over this trip here last time out. This was only his second outing for Kim Bailey having joined his yard back in October so more progression may be evident in time. Yeomanry gets our vote, though with so many of the field open to improvement it is a tentative selection.
