Verdict
A wide open contest gets proceedings underway and many can be given chances on there best form. However we will take a chance on Hunters Creek. The gelding from the bang in form Mary Reveley yard was a good winner last time out when defeating Uncle Burt in good style over fences. If can reproduce that effort back over hurdles he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Jack Pot II rates the main danger on his bumper form but he has been very disappointing over hurdles so far. Club Royal won a maiden in good style last time out but he will find this much harder under a penalty. Transit has also shown a modicum of ability but appears triples. Of the remainder Riviers Moon is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
