Verdict
Cabrillo will not be much of a price but he sets the standard here and he is taken to get the better of Overdrawn and Yenaled. The selection was a good fourth behind Livingonaknifedge in a better race than this at Towcester last time. That was his first run over hurdles so he is sure to improve and with ground conditions to suit he looks the one to beat. Overdrawn was a fair sort on the flat and he will go on the ground, but he was very disappointing on his hurdling debut and he will have to show significant improvement to beat our selection today. Yenaled ran well for a long way at Plumpton last time on soft ground before making a bad blunder. He remains lightly-raced over hurdles so should not be dismissed lightly. Quest On Air is unlikely to handle the ground so he looks one to take on and for the winner we will return to Cabrillo.
