Verdict

It may not be an original selection but Hours is too difficult to oppose in this company. He is shaping up very nicely and the race he won at Cheltenham last time gives some indication to how his future may pan-out in this grade. The fitting of a visor should keep his mind on the job-in-hand and he certainly has the scope to take a contest like this if his jumping does not let him down. Fanfaron is not the most reliable yardstick of the rest and Real Value and Celtic Season should give him the most to think about.
