Verdict

Some promising sorts face the starter here including winning pointers Avenging Ace and Weston Lodge. The latter found only Cape Dutch too strong on his hurdling debut at Carlisle and will make a bold bid to go one better. Brooklyn Bay has a decent pedigree, though Comeragh King beat him in a bumper at Ayr last year and the latter's run behind Drive Time at Doncaster in March wasn't a bad effort. MONKEY MILAN was very green on his racecourse debut in a bumper at Towcester in May but still had enough in hand to score and it's significant that Paul Webber is putting him straight over hurdles this season - he may be the one to beat.
