In depth
Verdict
Ryders Storm who is unbeaten over hurdles is taken to score again he won easily at Bangor when defeating the previous winner Ashton Vale and he is impossible to oppose despite top weight. Triple Glory was a good second behind Londolozi Lad last time out and gets a handy weight allowance but she will need to improve again to beat the favourite. Galant Eye has also shown a modicum of ability but needs to improve significantly to score. Silver Buzzard appeared not to stay the trip when behind Gallant Eye on his debut over hurdles. The remainder will have to be above average to score on there debuts.
