Verdict

Evan Williams' Shirocco gelding OUT OF OFFICE created an excellent impression when going in at Chepstow just after Christmas and can return from a break in style here before tackling better company. Dancila also brings plenty of hurdling potential on the back of his debut Musselburgh success and rates much the biggest threat. Ascot debut fifth Townhill and hurdling newcomer Smart Casual can fight it out for minor honours.
