Verdict

LORD OF KERAK shaped nicely when second on his Uttoxeter debut and is narrowly preferred to dual bumper winner Adrimel who appeals as the sort to do well over hurdles. Your Darling is also respected after making a pleasing start to his hurdle career at Huntingdon last month.

  1. LORD OF KERAK
  2. ADRIMEL (FR)
  3. YOUR DARLING (IRE)
