Verdict

HEAD LAW is improving in leaps and bounds, completing the hat-trick under a penalty with plenty in hand at Southwell 18 days ago, and could still be ahead of his mark off 10 lb higher. Whizz Kid is another who looked ahead of his mark for much of the way before finding his hurdling inexperience counting against him at Aintree, so he is well worth another chance, while Red Vison appeals at bigger odds now switched to handicaps.
