Verdict
Dual bumper winner Burlington Bert has changed stables since a beaten favourite on his hurdling debut at Bangor last November. An Fear Ciuin and Skeaping have both had plenty of chances and have become expensive to follow while Nuova Scuola showed little on the Flat. Hey Listen has yet to complete a race under Rules so this can go to STRAIT OF MAGELLAN, who was second twice behind decent novices at Market Rasen and Ayr last autumn and still has time on his side.
