    Verdict

    Bialco has been running really well since reverting to hurdles and, rated 125, should be more than capable of winning a novice hurdles this season. However, all of his best form is on ground with plenty of give whereas WEEBILL shouldn’t be inconvenienced by the surface on his run behind Indian Hawk at Warwick in February. He’s not penalised for winning a conditionals’ maiden hurdle at Fakenham in March and doesn’t have much to find on official ratings. Every Chance may be open to improvement but the others looks up against it.
