Verdict

A few in with chances but the vote goes to LAVORANTE. Gary Moore's charge showed plenty of promise when finishing third on his hurdling debut at Fontwell back in March and, with improvement likely and the yard in red-hot form, he's taken to score second time up. Olly Murphy also has a leading chance with bumper-second Bombs Away. Blairgowrie is alsorespected on hurdle debut.
