Verdict

The Dan Skelton yard boast a record of five winners from 23 runners at this track in the last three years around October/November and their £130,000 hurdling recruit ALNADIM can get off the mark here at the first attempt. Adjourned a £110,000 purchase after an impressive 6L win in a Southwell bumper 12 months ago can be expected to be improving over the next couple of starts while the Evan Williams-trained Imperial Flem looks an interesting hurdling debutante. The Raven's Return, winner of a Fontwell maiden hurdle when last seen in May deserves plenty of respect as does Wetherby bumper winner, Sheshoon Sonny for the Alan King yard.
