In depth
Verdict
Plenty in with chances in an open affair such as Wild Knight, Vandas Choice and King Dante but a chance is taken on Kymani Prince. The Len Lungo trained gelding is held in high regard and on his on his only run to date in a bumper he was third behind Silver Knight. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and with conditions on the fast side he will be hard to beat. Wild Knight was a fair second behind Clonside Bonnie in a handicap last time and he will find this maiden company much easier. King Dante is another to consider he is from a yard that is beginning to hit top form and he is sure to benefit for the step up in trip. Vandas Choice is another to consider he showed a modicum of ability in bumpers and is another that is sure to be stepped up in trip.
