Verdict
Pardishar, Kaparolo and Little Bud are the main protagonists in this handicap hurdle and we will side with Pardishar. The selection is a course and distance winner who ran well enough when second behind Fast Mix at Plumpton last time. He has conditions to suit here and with Jamie Moore in the plate will take some stopping. Kaparolo should give him the most to do as he has been running well of late and the switch to handicap company should suit, but he is looking a little exposed now and could be worth taking on. Little Bud ran really well behind Solo Dancer at Plumpton last time and should be good enough to be competitive here, although all her best form has come at that track. Of the rest, North Point has shown a fair level of form and has a useful claimer on board, but Pardishar looks to have solid claims and is put forward as the selection.
