      Verdict

      Hylia is very lightly raced and can take this contest from Bally's Bak and Tirikumba. The selection has just had two outings this year and has shown plenty of ability in both. She chased home Page Point at Huntingdon before finishing third to the handicap snip Rift Valley at Wincanton. She has been staying on well in her races so the three mile trip today could be ideal. Bally's Bak reverts to the smaller obstacles following a fair effort behind Macnance in a novice chase in December. She is not badly treated on her previous hurdles form and may reach the places. Meanwhile Tirikumba was outclassed at Cheltenham last time, but back at this level she should play a major role. In a very open event Wayward Melody is another to consider for the places, but for the winner we return to Hylia.
