Verdict

MISSED APPROACH looks above average having followed a point-to-point victory with a cosy win in a bumper at Uttoxeter. Warren Greatrex's charge can remain unbeaten as he goes hurdling for the first time. Vintage Vinnie has a similar profile to the selection but found a couple too good at Aintree on his first foray over hurdles. He should be in the firing-line once again and Lewis may figure on his second in a Kelso bumper back in May. Tinkers Lane was well beaten when runner-up at Stratford but still looks best of the rest.
