        Verdict

        Another difficult contest for punters to fathom with some fair sorts on the flat making their debuts over hurdles, but the principles look to be Wait for the Will, Kelly and Albuhera, and the selection is Wait for the Will. The selection has experience over hurdles and was a good second behind the highly-regarded Kombinacia last time. A reproduction of that effort will see him hard to beat. Kelly was a good sort on the flat in her native South Africa, but the 6-year-old did not impress with her staying prowess when third behind Investment Force on her hurdles debut at Southwell. Albuhera was a fair sort on the flat when with Mark Johnston, but he would prefer more cut in the ground and has yet to prove he stays this far. Of the remainder Comply to Die is from a top yard who do well in this sphere and is worth noting in the market, but we will stick with the hurdling experience of Wait for the Will.
