Verdict

It's very hard to get away from WATERLORD, a three-time bumper winner for John Ferguson in 2015 who showed he retains plenty ability last month at Haydock when beaten less than 6L in a Listed Novices' Hurdle. That was his first run for 720 days and he's been give almost three weeks to get over it, a similar level of form will make him hard to beat now. The likes of For Jim, D'arcy's Sound and Incus could have a say should the selection fail to fire.
  1. Waterlord
  2. For Jim
  3. D'arcy's Sound
