Verdict
Dorn Hill is the pick in this pretty weak claimer, Taipan Tommy and Ninja Storm could provide most danger. David Bridgewater's four-year-old disappointed on the turf at Yarmouth last time but his previous run on the all-weather at Wolverhampton was of a decent standard. She was only beaten five lengths behind Luccius Verrus and a repeat of that effort could be good enough in this company. Taipan Tommy put in three solid performances during November, culminating in a close up fifth behind Orchestration, he should be capable of reaching the frame. Ninja Storm is from a yard flying over the jumps and he can be given a squeak on the pick of this season's form. Ariesanne has also shown bits and pieces of ability and may do best of the others, but Dorn Hill should have too many guns for these rivals and she gets our vote.
