Verdict

This is an interesting little contest with Twill Stand To Us reverting to hurdles having been placed three times over fences. Clondaw Hero is better than he showed at Southwell while Knockturnal should improve now facing a jumping test. Masterleaderman has been placed in point-to-points but DESGREY has shown more than enough to suggest he can win a maiden hurdle and deserves a change of luck after another second at Carlisle. Mo Rouge needs to step up what he's shown so far.
