        Verdict

        The form of Hidden Weapon's course and distance success has been given a boost by the runner-up but he could struggle to concede weight to the likes of Aigle D'Or, Inchloch, Single Player and Wind Instrument. Aigle D'Or, a Listed winner on the Flat, missed 2007 but could prove to be a classy recruit to hurdling for his powerful connections. Wind Instrument is well regarded but has something to prove following a disappointing run at Wincanton whilst Single Player may be best watched until proving that he retains his ability unless the market vibes are positive. There are no such concerns with Inchloch who ran well behind Pasco last time but he has plenty to find with the selection on their Flat form and Aigle D'Or looks to be the one to side with here.
