Verdict
Another small field here and it looks a simple opportunity for Dusty Too to make it two out of two over hurdles this season. The five year old won in facile style last time out when defeating Canny Scot and despite his penalty he will be hard to beat under similar conditions. Spider Boy looks the one for the forecast as at least he has experience over hurdles. Ratling may need this his first run over hurdles so the confident vote goes to Dusty Too.
