        Verdict

        A poor contest which looks to be between Classic Chic and Lockstown and the vote goes to Classic Chic. Donald McCain's gelding won a maiden hurdle here last time and after just three runs looks capable of a fair bit of improvement. Course and distance clearly suit, as does the ground, and he can defy a penalty. Lockstown has had just the one run under rules, in a bumper on heavy ground at Sedgefield and he showed a fair bit of promise on that occasion. Sure to have been well schooled for this hurdling debut, he can go very well. Or D'Oudairies had some decent bumper form on the board before disappointing on his hurdling debut last time at Carlisle, when tried at this trip but he is worth persevering with and may well get closely involved. Little else makes any real appeal though money for Ergo would make him interesting and Briarhill Lad will probably win a race at some point for Lennie Lungo but for today we prefer Classic Chic.
