Verdict

Christian Williams has his string in fine order at present and SIDE STEPPER is fancied to register a first success with Cobden booked at the expense of Propelled, who has looked less than straightforward in recent starts but this significant step up in trip could be the making of him. Guttural, who hasn't been seen for 12 months, lurks on a handy mark back hurdling so rounds off the shortlist.

  1. SIDE STEPPER (IRE)
  2. PROPELLED
  3. GUTTURAL (IRE)
