Verdict
Subway Surf is 0-11 over hurdles but has placed six times. Poet's Reflection is only 2lb higher than when a close second in this last year but Tiki Fire has not managed a win in 13 career starts and is probably best with some give in the ground. The going may also be too quick for Branson Missouri but Wetherby winner CAMEMBERT ELECTRIC appeared to handle a similar surface when third at Chepstow so gets the nod.
