Verdict

Dr Richard Newland does well here and looks to have found COMPETITION an exceptional chance to gain a third win over hurdles. He doesn't always jump fluently but on all known form if he gets round he should win. The only realistic option to oppose him is hurdles debutant Panko who has more than enough ability on the flat to make up into a winning hurdler and if he jumps well he could prove a tough adversary in receipt of 10lbs. Texan Nomad is just about the best of the rest.
