In depth
Verdict
Limited Edition returned from a long break to land a Folkestone hurdle last time and can follow up here from Il duce Rash Moment and Rubberdubber. Mark Pitman's seven-year-old was returning from an 18 month holiday when beating some modest rivals in good style. There should be plenty of improvement to come and he looks the one to be on. Il Duce landed a bumper at Lingfield in December and comes from a stable with a high strike rate in hurdles this season. Meanwhile Rubberdubber gained a deserved victory in a class B event at Newbury last time. Both should be involved in the finish here as should Henry Daly's Rash Moment, who put up an improved display when chasing home the highly regarded Pole Star here last time. It is a very competitive affair with Doof and Vingis Park two others in with a shout, however we expect Limited Edition to step up on that Folkestone effort and he gets the verdict
