Verdict

Considering his profile, Hellorboston has been disappointing so far over hurdles and is now tried in blinkers. It would be no surprise were he to find at least one too good again. Chavoy and Grey Area have only had one run so far this season and may need another but Bescot Springs has been busy, though is better over fences and it's no surprise that Peter Buchanan rides Lucinda Russell's other runner AMORE MIO. He's 7lb higher than when winning over course and distance in November, but this looks no tougher and he's preferred to Markem, who should go close if taking part but was engaged to run at Sedgefield yesterday.
