    Verdict

    Run Along Boy probably brings the strongest form into this but Neil Mulholland's Irish import is hardly nap material having already had 14 starts over timber without managing to get his head in front. Quiet Whisper carries a penalty for his C&D win in May but hasn't been disgraced in three runs since and can't be ignored, while Alarming Alacrity may still have some scope. SMALL FLY has fallen in his two runs over hurdles to date but was staying on nicely in third when coming to grief at Ffos Las in March and, providing his confidence hasn't been affected, could represent a bit of value in this.
