Verdict

Blushing Prince has just five rivals in this two mile hurdle and can take the prize at the expense of Santiburi Lad and Analyze. Blushing Prince had no answer to Albuhera's finishing kick at Exeter earlier this month, but it was a very promising debut effort and with improvement fully expected he'll take all the beating here. Santiburi Lad is a seasoned handicapper on the flat and made a pleasing, if not spectacular, hurdling debut at Hexham recently. As with the selection he's certain to improve for the experience and will be a big danger. Analyze is rated 73 on the flat and will know doubt have been well schooled by Brendan Powell and must come into the equation. However, Blushing Prince is expected to land the spoils, with Santiburi Lad and Analyze shooting it out for the places.
