Ohana is less exposed than his rivals after just four starts, looks potentially well treated and with Timmy Murphy taking over in the saddle he gets the vote to open his account, getting the verdict over Dancewiththedevil and Miss Midnight. The last mentioned has shown a consistent level of form but remains a maiden and may be best watched at present. Mister Right comes here fit and in form from a couple of recent runs on the flat and could be of interest back over hurdles. Just Beware could probably do with some help from the handicapper, while Lorikeet would need to improve on the form shown on his reappearance to take a hand in the finish. Backlash ran promisingly at Uttoxeter last time and has claims, although a bigger threat is likely to come from Jonjo O'Neill's Dancewiththedevil who is probably better than he showed at Stratford last time. Ohana is the most interesting runner in the field though and he gets the vote.
