Verdict

NORN IRON matched his hurdling form at the first time of asking over the larger obstacles at Warwick last month and looks the one to beat here. Admiral Stewart has been given a break since pulling up at Sandown and may provide the chief threat.

Shaped up well in handicap hurdles prior to ending last season with a Plumpton maiden victory (15.9f) in April and posted pronising second of 9 in handicap chase (15/8) at Warwick (16.2f, soft) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Holds leading claims.

Disappointed in testing conditions at Perth when last seen in April but had scored over hurdles at Exeter (21.6f) previously and is worth monitoring in market on return/chase debut.

Verdict
Point winner who won the first of his 3 starts over hurdles last season. Walked over on return/chase debut at Sandown and best to draw a line through subsequent Southwell effort (pulled up quickly with an irregular heartbeat a circuit out). Remains of interest.
