This could be a good opportunity for NORDIC COMBINED to get off the mark over hurdles. The gelding sets the standard here and will be hard to master if taking a step forward. Colonel Mustard is the only previous winner in the race and has to be respected accordingly. His 6lb penalty makes life tough though. And a bigger threat may be posed by Milanstorm, who shaped as if he will appreciate a drop to this sort of trip last time out. Musical Slave has several entries this week and is another to monitor in the betting.
