Verdict

Nicky Henderson runs two but Heatstroke struggled under a penalty last time having won at Huntingdon earlier and Ballycaines debuts for the yard having failed to win in three starts on the Flat in Ireland. Postman won on the level in France and has his first outing over hurdles but Highly Prized has raced over timber in the USA and is another debuting for a new yard. TIFFIN TOP has improved with every start over hurdles and came good at Hereford last month. He carries a penalty but beat a subsequent winner on that occasion so the form looks solid enough and Alan King’s charge and gets the nod.
