Verdict

SALIGO BAY has been prolific over hurdles since last seen in this discipline and arriving fit from a recent spin over timber, Sam England's 8-y-o is fancied to add to his tally at the expense of Tiger, who is yet to get off the mark on these shores but bounced back to form when runner-up at Doncaster 7 weeks ago. Secret Beach looks best of the rest, though market support for Cape Fear should be noted having flopped on his recent handicap bow.

3	Prolific winner last year, including when last seen in this sphere here in September. That race has produced winners and he improved quite a bit over hurdles after that. Should be sharper for recent spin over hurdles and looks the one to be with. 1st Pick 3 Saligo Bay (Ire) Jockey: Tom Eaves Trainer: Sam England J: Tom Eaves T: Sam England	100	-	-	-	23%	7/2

5	Still searching for first win on these shores but again ran well when second of 6 in handicap at Doncaster 7 weeks ago, pulling a little way clear of the rest. Sometimes slowly away, though he can remain competitive. 1 of 2 for this yard. 2nd Pick 5 Tiger (Fr) Jockey: Edward Greatrex Trainer: Ian Williams J: Edward Greatrex T: Ian Williams	98	-	-	-	29%	5/2

2	A dual winner for Ben Brookhouse in 2025. Proving inconsistent thus far for current yard, though registered marginally his best effort of the campaign dropped back in trip when second of 7 over C&D (good to firm) 8 days ago. Every chance if building on that. 3rd Pick 2 Secret Beach (Ire) Jockey: Toby Moore Trainer: Donald Mccain J: Toby Moore T: Donald Mccain	98	-	-	-	20%	4/1
