Verdict

140-rated hurdler BARRA looks an exciting prospect for the Gordon Elliott yard and Gigginstown House Stud over the larger obstacles with the leading trainer appearing to find a nice opening for the seven-year-old to get off the mark at the first time of asking. Clara Sorrento, in the same ownership as the selection could prove the biggest danger here, while Oathkeeper and Sharps Choice can duel for the remaining place.
