As is to be expected with a race of this nature a cautious approach to finding a bet is the best policy. Baclama represents sound connections and has to be considered here. He has given a good account of himself without winning in this grade after reverting back to hurdles at the start of the year. Alampa has gone well here in the past and may give some value at a decent price and is shortlisted along with Paliatis, who landed something of a gamble at Huntingdon last time.
