Verdict

There were some ominous moves in the market before Burbank's collapse at Ludlow yesterday so it would be prudent to check trading for RATHER BE ahead of his chasing bow. The Seven Barrows runner landed a valuable prize back in the spring and he goes well when fresh. There would be little between him and War Sound on hurdling form but the latter needs to prove he retains that ability. Philip Hobbs' charge has the benefit of two runs over fences this term in good company, without showing any of the zest that exemplified his performances prior to a Swinton Hurdle success in 2015.
