Verdict

It's very hard to oppose prolific scorer SOBER GLORY, who enhanced his form when finishing a fine second in last month's Supreme at Cheltenham, a better jump at the last likely to have made the winner work harder still. He can prove too strong for Baron Noir who finished 2 places behind the selection on that occasion. Sinnatra is another with his best days ahead of him.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
3	Upwardly-mobile sort who was 3-3 in bumpers. Made a seamless transition to hurdling, an easy winner on 3 of first 4 starts and taking another big step forward when second in last month's Supreme. Shade better than the bare result on that occasion (mistake last) and he's very much the one to beat. 1st Pick 3 Sober Glory (Ire) Jockey: Ben Jones Trainer: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White J: Ben Jones T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	100	-	-	-	63%	3/5

1	Dual bumper scorer who has taken very well to hurdling, landing back-to-back maiden/novice events prior to finishing fourth in last month's Supreme at Cheltenham, impressing with how he went through the race. Ground to make up on Sober Glory on that form but highly likely there's more to come. 2nd Pick 1 Baron Noir (Ire) Jockey: Tom Bellamy Trainer: Alan King J: Tom Bellamy T: Alan King	94	-	-	-	23%	7/2

2	Impressive bumper winner who quickly reached a useful level over hurdles, twice justifying cramped odds in novice company before finishing fifth in last month's County Hurdle. Steady pace looked against him then and whilst this is tougher up in grade, he remains with potential. Hood on. 3rd Pick 2 Sinnatra (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	87	-	-	-	17%	5/1
