In what looks a largely uncompetitive affair to begin proceedings, this looks an easy enough assignment for
KID COMMANDO to make a winning transition to the hurdling ranks. His high-class form in bumpers before the turn of the year makes him the one to beat, and his stable are currently operating at a 60% strike-rate (3-5 in the past 14 days).
Jack Valentine is the only other one in the race with some substantial form, so he could give the selection something to think about if able to build upon his third at Chepstow last time out. Meanwhile, the Gary Moore-trained pair of
Bigunonthebalcony and
Hit The Rocks should be kept in mind for further down the line.
