        Verdict

        Trained Bythe Best who has been in fair form on the flat of late is taken to bounce back to form over hurdles, the gelding from the Martin Pipe yard was disappointing when last seen in this sphere when well beaten behind Texas Ranger at Fontwell on faster grounder this softer ground will help and his stable is beginning to hit top form now. Gypsy ran well last time out when second behind Central Committee at Sedgefield, being caught close home he will appreciate the shorter trip and will not be far away with a good conditional booked. Rocky Island was also in good form last season winning similar contests he goes on any ground but he will find this tougher off what looks a high mark. Royal Plum is well in on his best form but he has two ways of running and his best form is on fast ground. Sadler's Secret ran well when second behind The Bongo Man last time out on firm ground but he will find conditions a lot more testing here. Old Feathers is from a top yard and is well weighted on his best form and a market move would be significant. The remainder will need to improve on there latest form to score.
