Verdict

WESTERN SOLDIER, a useful performer on the Flat in Germany, was a close third on his recent hurdles debut at Sedgefield and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to strike. If Sangiovese takes to hurdles at the first attempt and handles the likely testing conditions, he could be the one to emerge as the main danger. Irish challenger Flidais also enters calculations, while Onewayortother remains of interest but there's a suspicion that he'll need better ground.

  1. WESTERN SOLDIER (GER)
  2. SANGIOVESE
  3. FLIDAIS (IRE)
