Verdict

KOTARI thrived at this time of the season in 2024 and a chance is taken that he'll bounce back to form in a pretty thin race. Market House is a reliable enough type and looks the most obvious alternative.

4	Winless since completing a Flat hat-trick in May 2024, though emerged with credit in defeat on a couple of occasions last season. Disappointing back hurdling after a breathing operation on his last 2 starts but he's potentially very well treated back in this code. 1st Pick 4 Kotari (Fr) Jockey: David Egan Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore J: David Egan T: Gary & Josh Moore	100	-	-	-	36%

1	Has been a fine advert for this yard, winning his first turf Flat start for the yard at Brighton last May and notching a second career hurdles victory at Plumpton last month. Ran respectably when sixth of 10 at Goodwood (1¾m, good) 13 days ago and overall profile remains solid. 2nd Pick 1 Market House (Ire) Jockey: Mason Paetel Trainer: James Owen J: Mason Paetel T: James Owen	98	-	-	-	36%

2	Dual winner over 1¾m here last season. Ran creditably when fifth of 10 over that trip at Goodwood (1¾m, good) 13 days ago, but seemed caught out for a change of pace in the final 1f there, so drop back in trip isn't an obvious positive. 3rd Pick 2 Fair Dinkum (Ire) Jockey: Kieran O'neill Trainer: Jeremy Scott J: Kieran O'neill T: Jeremy Scott	96	-	-	-	25%
