Verdict
Hindon Road has only found one too good at Kempton and Newton Abbot in his last two starts but there was just a suspicion that he wasn't putting it all in last time and it would be no surprise if he was tried in a set of blinkers before long. Alan King's charge may lack the scope of TROZULON, who travelled strongly for a long way on his hurdling debut at Plumpton but was just outpaced approaching the last - he'll know more today. Littledean Jimmy, Power Man and Proximo have all hinted at ability but may be fighting for the minor places here.
