Inchlaggan gets the confident vote in the opener with Callisto Moon and Ambrosiano the main dangers. The selection was a fair sort on the flat but he really caught the eye on his hurdling debut when he beat Dream On Dreamers at Huntingdon and he looks like one to stay on the right side of. Callisto Moon has been running well of late but he was well held in second behind Soliya last time. However, if the selection fails to fire then he should be the one to profit. Ambrosiano has some decent form on the level so he is certainly one to consider on his hurdling debut. The Nicky Henderson-trained Tinagoodnigh is another worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Inchlaggan.
