Verdict
L’AUBERGE DU BOIS was beaten 16 lengths when second at Wincanton but the winner easily defied a penalty at Taunton last week so that may be the best form on offer. Sgroppino may be the danger as he was well backed on his hurdling debut at Ludlow back in October so is probably capable of better. Bellamy's Grey should also improve for a first taste of hurdling while Lough Ryn wasn’t beaten far at Huntingdon in February and might appreciate the drop in distance.
