Verdict

Mahari's presence makes this a tricky contest as he performed at pattern level in France before fetching a princely sum to go hurdling. He burst a blood vessel when heftily supported for his hurdling debut and, assuming those issues have been dealt with, he has to be considered for this with his yard in such good form. WESTERN RYDER was top class in bumpers but had a poor experience on his hurdling debut. The yard's horses are going really well at present and he should take plenty of beating if coping better mentally this time. North West Wind represents a stable with a good record in this race and the in form Tizzard team saddle Bang On Frankie who should come on for his first start over timber. Point-to-point winner, Moving In Style, could be anything. However, a watching brief is advised having been kept to good ground in that sphere
