      Verdict

      Halligator has only had the two hurdle starts and will have come on a bundle for his second at Wetherby last month but EYED also has scope having beaten a previous winner here less than two weeks ago and gets the nod. Rock On Cowboy has been highly tried since his third at Uttoxeter in December while Issar D'Airy didn’t handle soft ground at Fontwell latest. Titanium Bullet was beaten under a length over track and trip in February but is 3lb higher now.
