Verdict

LOGO HUNTER rates the pick on form so looks the way to go here in his bid for a hat-trick after his taking Cork listed success last month. Course-winner Gustavus Weston appeals as the one to give him most to do, although both Make A Challenge and Measure of Magic command plenty of respect too.
