Bolton Hall can improve from his debut to win this claimer at the expense of Dream Castle and Storm Prospect. The selection was rated in the 60¿s on the flat winning four times in fifty attempts. His first effort over hurdles was a fair one, finishing third of twelve in a seller at Market Rasen. He has labelled himself as moderate but if improving for the experience he should have enough ability to win a race of this nature. Dream Castle travels from Ireland and is having his first run for nearly a year. At the age of 14 he is getting no younger but that said his form of last summer was consistent winning three times so if fit he has to be respected. Storm Prospect won a handicap at Hexham last month and comes from a yard in form at present. Connections have though but him in this race with the top claiming price meaning he has to give weight all round so he would need a personal best effort to score. So for the winner we return to Bolton Hall.
