Verdict

Doubts can be cast over each runner in the field and this far from a select line up. Fiesole and Arthington have claims on the pick of their past form and could easily bounce back in a low-key race such as this, while Final Choicehas a C&D win to his name and can also go close if his latest starts can be bettered. However, a chance is taken that TARA BRIDGE will relish being back over hurdles and, given that he's on a handy mark, the old boy doesn't have too much to find to put a weak race to bed.
