Verdict
A large field goes to post for this maiden hurdle and many can be given chances but the principals look to be Bollin Thomas, One Five Eight, Stan and We'll Meet Again and we will take a chance on Bollin Thomas. The selection has been in fair form on the flat of late and if he can bring that improvement to hurdles he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. One Five Eight rates the main danger was a fair bumper performer who did not progress as expected over hurdles last season. However this longer trip is sure to suit and he has definite place claims. Stan is a Super Imposing gelding out of Take Care who is from a shrewd yard and will not need to be any thing special to take a hand in the finish so he is worth noting in the market. We'll Meet Again has the assistance of Tony Dobbin in the saddle and is another to note in the market but he did not look a certain stayer on the flat so he may be best watched here and for the winner we return to Bollin Thomas.
