Smokeringinthedark is coming off a good win at Newcastle and should again go well but he may struggle to see off the unexposed KILWAUGHTER, who got off the mark over hurdles when scoring with a bit in hand on his handicap debut at Newbury. He ought to improve again for the further step up to 3m and can overcome a 7lb rise. Third choice is Moon Rocket, who is back hurdling having struggled over fences at the festival. This will be his second run after a wind op. |
