In depth
Verdict
Supreme Builder gets the confident vote here with Innox and Peters Star rating the main dangers. The selection has won his last two races in good style and beat Political Paddy last time out. He looks sure to relish the return to this longer trip and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Innox rates the main danger as he is a fair chaser at his best and was a fair fourth on his return to hurdles behind Sullumo last time. He has definite place claims but may be vulnerable to a less exposed type. Peters Star is another that could go well as he was in front of Innox last time but he would be better off with the selection if this were a handicap and is taken on with this in mind. Fouty Acers hails from the in-form David Pipe yard and should appreciate the return to hudles. Of the others, Starburst Diamond hails from a yard in top form so is worth a cautionary look in the market but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Supreme Builder.
