Verdict

This looks a straightforward opportunity for Shouldhavehadthat who is preferred to Halfway Cut and Olmeto Collonges. The selection failed to do himself justice on his debut over hurdles having shown plenty of promise in bumpers, but he left that running behind him last time when scoring impressively to beat Scotland Yard. There should be more to come and in this moderate contest he should prove too strong for his rivals. Halfway Cut has got some fair form in Ireland and he will be suited by this faster ground having travelled well before being bogged down by the conditions last time out. Olmeto Collonges showed some promise at Lingfield last time but being a half-brother to Neptune Collonges he looks the type who will fare better when he goes chasing. Just Intersky is an interesting newcomer from a top yard and if he has ability then Tony McCoy will give him maximum assistance from the saddle. However, Shouldhavehadthat sets a fair benchmark for the rest here and should take plenty of beating.
