TIMEFORM VIEW Smart hurdler in 2018/19. Useful form in this sphere, rattling off the hat-trick in a Perth novice (23.8f) in May. Hard to knock his subsequent Newton Abbot second and expected to be in the mix again. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 143 DARYL JACOB

BETTING FORECAST:
2-1 Ballymoy (IRE), 7-2 Premier d’Troice (FR), 4-1 Ruthless Article (IRE), 5-1 Rhythm Is A Dancer (GB), 13-2 The Bull McCabe (IRE), 100-1 Babytaggle (IRE)
RACE SUMMARY:
A competitive-looking opener with the vote in favour of RUTHLESS ARTICLE. He capitalised on his much-reduced mark and looked a different proposition when accounting for an in-form sort at Aintree 18 days ago and there could be a little more to come from him in this sphere. Ballymoy and Rhythm Is A Dancer head up the dangers.
