Verdict
Mister Wall Street races over hurdles for the first time since 2011 and is rated 5lb higher than over fences. Tennessee Bird never threatened the winner when second at Market Rasen last time but the longer trip should help and Mike Sowerby's gelding makes more appeal than Fontwell runner-up Dropzone. OUR CHIEF found disappointingly little off the bridle when only fourth to Flemensbay over a longer trip here 11 days ago. But it's possible that he didn't last home and he drops a grade for this so gets the nod.
