      Verdict

      Katchit gets the confident vote in this grade 2 hurdle with Amaretto Rose and Blythe Knight rating the main dangers. The selection has been running in good company of late and was a good second behind Osana last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to win this with a little in hand. Amaretto Rose was third behind Ebaziyan when last seen but she may just need the run after a 340 day break and she is taken on with this in mind. Blythe Knight was behind Katchit when they last met and although he should improve for this faster ground he still has a little to find. Alph has plenty to find on official ratings while Lemon Silk and Osako are others that look outclassed and for the winner we return to Katchit who will be hard to beat.
