Verdict

Bold Diktator gets the confident vote here with Truckers Delight and Mexican Bob rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second on his hurdling debut behind Weelavit he looks sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement he looks the one to be on. Truckers Delight rates the main danger as he is represents a top yard and although disappointing last time out that could be put down to the soft ground and with the return to this faster surface in his favour he should be watched in the market. Mexican Bob was a fair sort on the flat at his best and although disappointing last season he has conditions to suit and he is worth a cautionary look in the market. Of the remainder Viable has ran with promise in the past and is another with place claims with his yard in form but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Bold Diktator who looks sure too improve.
