Verdict
MAKE A TRACK (NAP) won this a year ago and looks to have been primed for a repeat by Charlie Swan as he's only 4lb higher and has returned to action in cracking form over hurdles. He's handed the vote in a very tough contest though The Paparrazi Kid has a course and distance victory to his credit having landed a Grade 2 novices event at the fixture a year ago and will put a recent reappearance defeat at Newbury behind him. The lightly-raced and very progressive Mister Hotelier may not be on a mark of 132 for much longer. Federici was 6l behind the latter here in October and with a big pull in the weights and a recent Thurles victory behind him he should reverse the form and get into the action while another lightweight, Sir Harry Cash, must be a threat with his young rider's claim taking him onto a feather weight.
