Verdict
Equus Dancer ran well for a long way at Uttoxeter and is certain to improve while I'm Wiser Now has shown plenty of potential is his two starts and looks one to follow when tackling hurdles. Floki will attract attention given his connections and there was plenty to like about his run at Warwick last April. Newhall Grange is bred for speed and will have his conditions but the fact that Richard Johnson is hanging around to ride FLOATING ROCK is intriguing. The second foal of a mare who produced a 1m1f winner with her first, he wouldn't need to be special to make a successful start and the champion can steer him home.
