Verdict
Soaring Glory won the Betfair Hurdle here the season before last and also took a Listed handicap at Ascot earlier this year but he was pulled up on his reappearance and is trying a new trip. Neither of the Henderson pair make much appeal on recent form while Peking Rose disappointed over track and trip last time having won narrowly at Aintree earlier. WARRANTY is one of several near the foot of the weights arriving in peak form. Gary Moore’s gelding has definitely improved over the summer and may complete his hat-trick though Pikar remains unexposed and could be well treated on his handicap debut. There are also possibilities about Blenkinsop, who chases a four-timer, while Silent Revolution won here as a novice, as did Nina The Terrier. Eddie Edge takes 10lb off Martello Sky and Lady Adare is 4-4 but hasn’t run since February.
