Verdict
Ink Master ran away with a selling hurdle at Stratford 10 days ago but it’s more than a year since he showed any worthwhile form over fences, though is well treated as a result. Go West Young Man was a surprise winner over track and trip last month but reverted to type at Market Rasen shortly after when running out. HONOURABLE GENT has almost nine lengths to find with Laura Morgan’s charge but is 5lb better off and more reliable. The top weight gets the nod in this, though Trust Thomas came back to form at Cartmel and has won off higher marks. Dakota Grey is slipping down the weights but still has some improving to do.
