In depth
Verdict
Charlie Mann's Analogy catches the eye and can score here. Fit from the Flat, where he stayed 12 furlongs and won a maiden handicap, he looks to have good credentials in this sphere. Woodybetheone, third on his hurdling debut behind Kavi, looks an obvious danger. Through Kavi, Coctail Lady is closely weighted with the last-named. She has taken well to hurdles, winning on her debut before disappointing in a slowly-run affair. She can be competitive again. Melusina is interesting from the Amanda Perrett stable. A disappointing maiden on the Flat, the son of Barathea ought to be able to be competitive in this company.
