    Verdict

    WEST HILL VERDE should have a race like this within his grasp judged on his good third in a useful maiden at Ascot before Christmas. Hardly Surprising should have more to offer on the back of his latest Bangor third and is second choice ahead of Kiwi Rush, who was better than the result at Cheltenham last time.

    West Hill Verde (Fr) silk

    Runner-up on the first of 3 bumper starts and going the right way over hurdles, finishing third of 12 in a decent novice at Ascot (21.5f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago, with the reopposing Dig Deep behind him. Open to further progress and leading claims.

    Hardly Surprising (Ire) silk

    Half-brother to smart Fiddlerontheroof. Won sole start Irish point last spring. Better effort in maiden hurdles for new connections in November when beaten just over a length into third at Bangor (19.5f. heavy) latterly. Likely capable of better again.

    Kiwi Rush (Ire) silk

    Winner of the second of his 3 starts in bumpers. Promising fourth on 20.5f Newbury hurdle debut in November and better than result in maiden at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, stumbling badly 3 out. Retains potential.
