Verdict

This can go to ROBIN THE RAVEN. Kim Bailey's charge had a good record in novice hurdles, including a smooth success at Ludlow last time out. He should continue his progression now switching to fences, and it's interesting that connections haven't wasted any time in sending him chasing. He is taken to get off the mark over the larger obstacles at the first time of asking, at the expense of The Eaglehaslanded and Jaleo, both useful handicap hurdlers but perhaps without the potential of the selection.
