A race that should primarily involve three horses namely Everready, Giorgio and Tyne For Intersky with the vote going to the last named. The Jonjo O¿Neill charge has his debut over hurdles this afternoon after impressive bumper wins at Market Rasen and Carlisle last Autumn. The yard are in top form and the fact that they are firing in as many winners as the great MC Pipe suggests that Jonjo could indeed have a live chance for the trainers championship this year. Tyne For Intersky will have been well schooled for his debut and should have too much class for his rivals today. Everready has been in fantastic form this summer with wins at Fakenham and Huntingdon which has seen him rise 21lbs in the ratings and that could have been more but for a final flight fall at Hereford last time out when four lengths clear. The only problem with his chance today is the trip. Both his recent wins have been over three and a quarter miles and today¿s trip of two and a half miles will be a long way short of his ideal distance and for that reason he is opposed today. Giorgio comes from a stable that has just come into form. The Hobbs yard were way short of their best until recently and Giorgio who was well beaten when second behind Manx Royal at Uttoxeter last time out but there will be improvement in him. But for the winner we return to Tyne For Intersky.
