Verdict
A competitive handicap hurdle with Araglin, Uncle Max, Royal Bubble and Cool Dante all possibilities, but the vote goes to the last named. Cool Dante is back over hurdles after a successful spell over the bigger obstacles. He was going as well as any when coming to grief four out at Perth on his penultimate start and confirmed that promise when beating Fier Goumier by a length on his next outing. He runs of a similar rating here over hurdles and with the Tim George yard in great form is taken to score again. Araglin was a good second to Ask Me What last time out and runs off the same mark here. This is tougher though and is best watched. Uncle Max will have his supporters and is only 1lb higher for his win in selling company at Hereford on his penultimate start. He showed promise in a handicap when fourth of fourteen at Stratford last time out and is one for the short list. Royal Bubble is back over hurdles after some poor efforts over fences. His hurdle form does read better but he may still struggle. For the winner we return to Cool Dante.
