In depth
Verdict
No Hiding Place is proving hard to place and is probably a few pounds too high. STARCROSSED (NAP) had useful form on the Flat so it was a surprise that he was allowed to start at 16/1 on his second start over hurdles at Huntingdon after a fair debut at Doncaster. He won a shade cosily and there is scope for further improvement. Rasasee has only won a three-runner race so far while Our Kylie and Tamarillo Grove may do better when returning to Cartmel and Newton Abbot respectively.
