Verdict

This should rest between the four previous hurdle winners and smart Flat performer Sofia's Rock has yet to match the same standard of form over hurdles. He was suited to forcing tactics on the level and it will be interesting to see if he is ridden any differently here. Hes No Trouble made all to win a poor race at Huntingdon and his margin of victory is flattering, whilst Good Man Jim made a modest initial return on his mammoth purchase price when landing a weaker race than this over C&D. As a result the vote goes to CERVARO MIX who is a good jumper and whose last two efforts have seen the form franked since.
  1. Cervaro Mix
  2. Sofia's Rock
  3. Hes No Trouble
