        Verdict

        A competitive field goes to post for this handicap hurdle and many have chances on there best form but we will take a chance on Virgin Solider. The gelding from the Alan Swinbank yard will love the ground and if his latest second behind Welsh Main gives him every chance despite top weight. Capricorn Princess won well at Uttoxeter when defeating Ben Ewar and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close but consistency is not her strong suit. Property Zone is another in form and he to is proven on the ground but he has never won off a mark this high before. Hors La Loi was second behind Property Zone last time but he is much better off at the weights and he could easily reverse placings. Sonevafushi would also be a danger to all on his best form. However he disappointed at the end of last season and he does not always find as much as is expected off the bridle. Of the remainder Silver Buzzard is from a very shrewd yard and he is worth a cautionary look in the market.
