Verdict

It's very hard to get away from DELGANY SECOND NOW who can get the hat-trick up if taking to chasing after smooth wins over hurdles for his leading yard. Soldier In Mayo is likely to pose the main threat if ready to go after a long absence, while Rockvale probably has a race like this in him.

7	Maiden but his second to a thriving rival at Uttoxeter (21f) in May shows he can be competitive from his mark over fences.
