Cruiseaweigh clearly has the ability to win a race of this nature judged on his bumper form. He was travelling like a winner before slipping his bit and veering off course at Sandown on his first run over hurdles before experiencing more problems at Newbury last time. It may be more prudent to side with ROYAL VILLAGE who has done nothing wrong so far and ran well enough on his hurdling debut to suggest he will be winning races in this sphere. Earlshill has a tongue tie fitted for the first time which confirms there may have been due cause for a poor run last time. He rates an obvious danger.
