      Verdict

      Nietzsche hasn’t won over hurdles in more than four years but did win on the Flat in September and is still capable in this grade. Socialist Agenda is eased in grade and won here and at Catterick last season while Al Zaraqaan is seeking a four-timer over timber but SMART LASS (NAP) loves it here and will get stronger handling today from Conor O’Farrell. Scots Poet disappointed last time at Kelso but is still preferred to Antey of the others.
