A small field, and perhaps not the deepest of races in terms of quality, but also not the easiest to solve either. Cotswold Way and Stylish Moment have previous hurdling experience, filling the frame behind the easy winner Blu Cavalier at Wincanton in April, with the Philip Hobbs-trained runner showing marked improvement on that occasion. However, a couple of those experiencing hurdles for the first-time are interesting, with both Moody Maggie and BEFORE MIDNIGHT expected to shape well. The selection is bred for hurdling (dam was a 3m winner), and with a game attitude to boot should prove well suited by this step up in trip from bumpers.
