In depth

Verdict

Another modest affair and Joe Lively can follow up a recent vectory, Castlecrossings and Miss Midnight look to be the only serious rivals. Colin Tizzard's charge was soon in command here when easily beating the 108 rated Levitski and is open to much more improvement as it was only the third race under rules. That runner up is trained by Jonjo O'Neill who is represented here by the former bumper horse Castlescrossings. No great shakes in that sphere, but she will have been well schooled so watch out for any market confidence on her hurdles debut. Miss Midnight has taken a while to get the hang of this game but has put in too decent enough efforts recently and could go well at a decent price. The rest make little appeal and so we return to Joe Lively and the most likely winner.
