Verdict
Nagam and Amoreigh have both been running well of late and have every chance under their big weights here but it is hard to get away from Tim Vaughan's LITTLE SHILLING given his recent form over hurdles and he is taken to make it five on the bounce on his first start over fences since the summer. Solid As A Rock has been well held in both starts this term and of more interest is recent narrow Fontwell winner Nagam, who has to race off a 5lb higher mark today. Richard Mitchell's Kiltimoney has not progressed from a promising reappearance run, while Ross Leader has failed to complete in his last three starts and is hard to back with any confidence. Peter Bowen's Amoreigh stepped up on his reappearance run when finding just Fourpointone too good at Warwick last month and he has every chance on that evidence off just a 1lb higher mark today. Little Shilling has been in super form over hurdles since joining Tim Vaughan and there is every chance that he can carry on that progression back over fences now.
