This looks something of a three horse race on paper and the vote goes to
HENRY SMITH who has the benefit of a recent run and a win at that, his trainer Dr Richard Newland has a fine strike-rate at this course.
Dijon Conti is still unexposed and this Wincanton winner should have more to come this season so he is rated the principle threat.
Accord's form over hurdles is comparable to his rivals but he has been off some time and concentrates mostly on chasing these days.
- Henry Smith
