Verdict
Time To Shine, Young Collier and Stance look the ones to concentrate on in a wide open affair and we will side with Young Collier. The five year old is a winner at up to two miles on the flat and is a full brother to the champion hurdle winner Collier Hill. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Time To Shine is also worthy of respect she won a seller a couple of runs ago then improved on that when defeating Andromache last time. However she will find this harder under a penalty. Trance represents a very shrewd yard and is a winner over 12 furlongs on the flat he is worth noting in the market with Jamie Moore taking the ride. Of the remainder Saint Reverian was a fair sort in France but took a heavy fall in a novice chase last time and may just be on a confidence boosting mission so in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum we are happy to side with Young Collier
