In depth
Verdict
Wild Dream is taken to score on his debut over hurdles he has rock solid bumper form including a second at Cheltenham to Back in Front and if he takes to hurdles he will be hard to beat. Macnance has the benefit of experience over hurdles but his second to Just A Minute looks nothing special and he is worth taken on at the likely prices. Fragrant Rose also showed plenty of ability in bumpers and is from a stable in top form so it would be no surprise to see him go close. My Ace would be anther to consider he is sure to have been well schooled and has also shown fair form in bumper races. The remainder need to improve on there latest form to score.
