Verdict

It's probably fair to say PIKE ROAD didn't improve on his maiden hurdle form when fifth on handicap debut at Catterick but that was still a decent effort and he shades preference ahead of Bold Recruit. Big-yard representatives Doctor Midas and Keel Strand may both step up on what they've shown so far now faced with a stiffer test, while Swift Jet could also have a part to play.

  1. PIKE ROAD
