Verdict
Ideal Du Bois Beury was far superior to these rivals over hurdles, is sure to have been well schooled goes on any ground and if he gets round he will be hard to beat. No Need For Alarm was also a fair front running sort over hurdles and rates the main danger to the tip in receipt of five pounds. Dare would also have a chance on his best form over hurdles but he has an 187 day absence to overcome. Themanfromcarlisle showed a modicum of ability in a national hunt flat race when fourth on his debut and this gelding by Jupiter Island may be one to follow in this sphere when he has more experience behind him. The remainder need to improve on all known form to score.
