Wigglesworth will be popular but has been a beaten short-priced favourite the last twice in maiden hurdles and must concede weight all round and course and distance winner LAYERTHORPE (NAP) is preferred. The latter has gone down by less than a length on all three hurdling starts in the current campaign and is still on a fair mark despite being slowly inched up the ratings for his consistency. Chosen Shant has only had half a dozen starts over timber but is coming along steadily while formerly inconsistent pointer Accordini has done better since jumping hurdles under Rules.
