Verdict

This is a relatively competitive looking handicap hurdle where many have a fair chance despite the relatively small field. If Applesandpierres can get his jumping together he has to rate a big danger given how well he has been going when falling the last twice, while Solatentif returns to hurdles having run well in a novice chase recently and can go well. But COOL SKY, not disgraced in a hot Listed contest last time, went very close in a similar race off only 1lb lower in December and looks the best handicapped of these with trip and ground set to suit.
