Verdict

Philip Hobbs' yard is in good form and WAIT FOR ME stands out in this after landing the odds in a maiden hurdle at Newbury last month beating subsequent winner Potters Legend seven lengths. A bumper winner in France, Bol D'air makes his debut over hurdles along with Followmybuttons, but Querry Horse won a three-runner affair in the French provinces last year and makes more appeal. Hell's Kitchen is a newcomer to note in the betting.
