Verdict

GUN MERCHANT showed the benefit of wind surgery when gaining his breakthrough success at Newcastle last month and is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise in the weights in a race where lots have question marks against them. Permission Granted comes here at the top of his game over hurdles so is feared most on his first go in this sphere, with fellow chasing debutant Dequall another to consider.

  1. GUN MERCHANT
  2. PERMISSION GRANTED (IRE)
  3. DEQUALL
