Form & Verdict
Easily justified favouritism at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last month on hurdles debut and return from two-year absence, adding to his bumper win and taking form figures to 211; promising sort who looks a big player under 6lb penalty.

Verdict

British debutante Khrisma (second choice) appears to have a favourable chance at the weights and she commands respect, especially if strong in the betting. FINGLE BRIDGE (narrowly preferred) is a promising sort who should build on his reappearance win, while Lud’or is another major contender on form and Graham has possibilities judged on his Flat ability.[Steve Boow]
