Verdict
FALCO BLITZ has found one too good on his last three starts over hurdles and drops down in distance on his reappearance. Nicky Henderson’s charge looks to have leading claims in this company with High Change looking the main danger. A rare NH runner for Charlie Hills’ yard, the latter made a winning debut in a bumper at Ffos Las back in June and can figure if taking to hurdling. Timeforaspin has placed in bumpers and is related to winners over timber while Millers Bank may well improve now hurdling and is preferred of the remainder.
