Verdict
Another opportunity for the consistent WHITE TURF to land a first hurdling win. His latest runner-up effort when clear of the rest behind Pillar Of Steel has taken on a healthy sheen in light of the latter's Worcester win this week and he turns up here in a first-time visor. Two Blondes looks his main danger after a close-up third at Cartmel and a narrow Uttoxeter defeat on his last two outings, for which he's only up a total of 3lb. Aumerle is interesting on hurdling bow while Pass Rusher finished just ahead of Two Blondes with an improved effort latest but is worse off now with the McCain runner.
