Led early, tracked leader, going well from 3 out, not fluent when challenged on bit last, shaken up to soon lead, soon drew clear, easily tchd 5/6 and tchd Evens
De Dollar Man (10/11), Just Minded (11/10), Trongate (14/1), Spirit Of Hale (40/1), Firth Of Bavard (300/1)
A small field, perhaps on account of the heavy ground, and we will side with JUST MINDED to confirm the promise of his recent Wetherby run over hurdles, with that experience and the good form of the Sue Smith stable getting him the nod. De Dollar Man looks an obvious main danger and will jump a hurdle in public for the first time here. He clearly has some ability and would be no surprise winner, though the yard could be going a little better. Trongate looks best of the remainder.
