        Verdict

        A competitive field goes to post for this handicap hurdle and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Star Time, Hurlers Cross and Dd's Glenalla and the vote goes to the last named. The selection has been slightly disappointing of late but with the step up in trip and this faster ground sure to suit he could be the value in an open affair. Star Time rates the main danger on his latest third behind Mandingo Chief he is another that should also relish the trip. Hurlers Cross is also worthy of respect he was a fair fifth behind Ken'tucky last time and this looks less competitive. Of the remainder Shannon Waters is having his first run for the Pipe team and could improve while Native Cunning was a place behind Star Time last time out but is better off at the weights but for the winner we return to Dd's Glenalla.
