Verdict
Bagheera Ginge is the only one of these to have so far featured over fences but the Warwick winner has to concede weight all round. Sporting Mike has won over hurdles and between the flags and Hermes Boy could be well treated on the pick of his hurdles form. Pimlico Point has been lightly campaigned and goes well fresh, as does Dream In The Park. School Days Over has a recent run under his belt but never won over hurdles and No No Tango is still a maiden. Tom Lacey and Stan Sheppard teamed up to land this 12 months ago and BIG BLUE MOON, much improved over hurdles in the spring, appeals as the type to do well over the larger obstacles.
