Verdict
There's plenty of hope in RIDIN SOLO's pedigree that he'll stay the longer trip, so Donald McCain's consistent 8-y-o is taken to follow up his Sedgefield maiden win back in handicap company. Hostile Hotelier and Edgewell both arrive in top form also and are obvious threats.

VerdictRan up to best when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago, despite typically lugging right under pressure. Holding his form well of late and no surprise if he's thereabouts again. - 2. Ridin SoloJ: Brian HughesT: Donald McCainF: 225-33351

VerdictGained reward for his consistency when opening his hurdle account in 11-runner maiden at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 28 days ago, bit in hand. Pedigree provides hope he'll stay the longer trip and good claims back in handicap company. - 3. EdgewellJ: Conor O'FarrellT: Rebecca MenziesF: 69616211

VerdictRejuvenated by the refitting of a visor/return to hurdling of late, following up from Southwell under a penalty with a bit to spare at Fakenham (23.4f, good, 13/8) 19 days ago, albeit suited by way race developed. Should go well again.

VerdictCourse winner who ran better than for a while from his falling mark when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Possibilities if building on that up in trip.
