Verdict

AFADIL was an impressive winner at Ayr on his final outing last season and perhaps retains most potential in this field, so combined with the yard's fine record in the race, gets the nod over Zestful, who has taken really well to hurdling and could well have more to offer. Jilaijone went close in France last time and is another to consider.
