Tokala gets the confident vote with Commander Kev and Hardybuck rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Leading Contender last time out. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and she need only run up to that mark to score. Commander Kev rates the main danger on her best efforts in a bumper she is sure to have been well schooled for this her hurdling debut and should be closely monitored in the market with her yard in top form Hardybuk is another worthy of respect on her latest fifth behind Ostfanni but her stable have been woefully out of form of late and is passed over for that reason. Oyster Pearl is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she has given the impression in the past she would be suited by further. Of the remainder Castletown Lad is from a top yard and could improve for the fitting of a visor but he will need to do so to score and for the winner we return to Tokala.
