Hesamanofhisword (6/4), Top Line Tommy (5/2), Haggard Lad (18/5), Say It Ain't So (5/1), Blue Ribbon (16/1), Fallen Forest (22/1), Good Reception (50/1), Garrison Commander (50/1), My Friend The Wind (50/1), Natch (66/1), Kamikaze Kid (66/1), Some Spin (100/1), But I Like It (200/1)

Verdict

A more competitive division of this 2m maiden hurdle with preference for SAY IT AIN'T SO who is open to more improvement than his rivals after finishing a promising fourth on his hurdles bow over this C&D last month. He should be much wiser with that experience under his belt and can get off the mark at the second time of asking. His biggest danger looks to be the more exposed Hesamanofhisword who tends to find one too good. However, the bulk of his form would entitle him to go close once again. Similarly, Top Line Tommy is also a key player despite being slammed into third last time out. The fact Paul Townend keeps the ride is a positive sign.
  1. Say It Ain't So
  2. Hesamanofhisword
  3. Top Line Tommy
