Verdict

Previous course winner Black Label showed up well for his new trainer at Perth last month on second run and needs plenty respecting now racing from his lower mark in his country. This is competitive though and the likes of Alohamora, Fred The Foot and last year's winner Dorans River all come into the reckoning. SPRING WATCH was back from more than a year off at Galway earlier this in month and travelled well for a long way in a hot race before folding. He should be plenty sharper for that run and is well capable of getting involved from his current mark in the search for a third hurdles win from eight attempts.
