Verdict

It may pay to focus on the 2 previous hurdle winners in the line-up, with Kim Bailey's HALLIGATOR taken to make light of another absence and prove too strong for Quick Sharpener. Riggsby is open to progress on the back of his hurdle debut fourth and may prove best of the remainder unless the market vibes are positive surrounding newcomer Tara Brooch.
