Verdict
A wide open contest gets proceedings under way and many have chances on there best form. Crownfield, Crunchy and Coy Lad are all sure to have there supporters, however we prefer to take a chance on Kymani Prince. The gelding from the bang in form Len Lungo yard will strip fitter here than he did when a disappointing favourite last time out and with this faster ground sure to be in his favour he will be hard to beat. Crownfield rates the main danger he was a good second in a better race behind Unleash last time out and he will not be far away off what looks a fair mark. Crunchy is an AW flat winner who has shown a modicum of ability over hurdles and he is another that could go well . Alpha Rose is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market on this her hurdling debut.
