Verdict
Salinas probably has the best form of those to have raced previously over hurdles but this may go to one of the newcomers with the vote going to Stage By Stage, who is preferred to Miss Holly. The last mentioned was a dual middle distance handicapper when with Mark Johnston but has not been seen on a racecourse for 16 months and it is difficult to know how much ability the Sue Smith-trained mare retains. The vote then goes to Charlie Egerton's Stage By Stage. Formerly with Michael Bell, the son of In The Wings was easily the best of these on the flat having been rated 103 at one stage. Provided that he is fit enough for his first outing since September and can hurdle fluently enough, Stage By Stage looks the one to be on. Len Lungo's bumper winner The Weaver has to be respected on his hurdling debut, along with Owen Brennan's consistent Swift Swallow and the aforementioned Salinas but the vote goes to Stage By Stage.
