Verdict

A few in with chances but ROWDY RUSTLER has shown promise on both outings over hurdles so far, allowed the run of things when runner-up at Kelso 4 weeks ago. The third that day has won since, so Lucinda Russell's charge gets the nod to make it third time lucky. Fabuleux du Clos was left with too much to do on his hurdles bow so he's feared most with improvement likely, ahead of Livelifetothemax.
