Verdict

HEREDITARY RULE reverts to hurdles on a handy-looking mark after his Cartmel chase victory so gets the nod. Plenty of others are in with a shout, Ballinlough Gale also weighted to have a say and next on the list with in-form duo Inforapenny and Sphagnum much respected too.

  1. HEREDITARY RULE (IRE)
