Verdict
BRIEZH ALKO has very few miles on the clock. He was a fair second over hurdles at Chepstow last month and won over this trip at Chepstow as a novice in 2019 so looks the one to beat in just his second run over fences with Brian Hughes doing the steering. The Lion Dancer could go well if recapturing past form but Eaton Miller looks a bigger danger as he was returning from a lay-off when finishing second at Taunton and won here and at Warwick around this time last year.
