Verdict
The selection in the finale is the Evan Williams trained Nayodebayo who can complete a double.He showed improved form to win at Ludlow at the end of April and can continue on the upward curve by taking this amateur riders event. The dangers are Parisienne Gale,who was impressive in victory at Hexham last month and put up a good performance behind Bollin Thomas at Sedgefield this month.She should be prominent. The Pat Haslam trained Fox Point ran a really promising race behind the improving From Dusk To Dawn here earler this month and will be a live danger to all. But the selection is Nayodebayo to win this handicap hurdle.
