Verdict

WEST HILL VERDE's form in maiden hurdles is proving strong, particularly his Newbury third in November, and he is taken to deservedly open his account on the back of a fine effort in Grade 2 company at Kelso. The pick of several promising rivals could be Apache Tribe, who is open to any amount of improvement on debut for the Gordon Elliott yard, while Stride On and Timesareachanging command a second look also.
