        Verdict

        A small but competitive field goes to post for this novice hurdle but we will take a chance on Little Brown Bear over Intersky Native and Golden Haze. The gelding from the in form Richard Ford yard is better known as a chaser. However he will relish the fast ground and could well be hard to beat as his rivals have not progressed as expected of late. Intersky Native would have a chance on his second in a similar contest behind Bellacacia. However he has since disappointed over fences. Golden Haze was a fair second behind Satshoon over course and distance last time out and a reproduction of that effort would give him definite place claims. Of the remainder Son Of Snurge is in fair form and he is worth a cautionary look in the market.
