Verdict

There's an air of unfinished business about SPORTING JOHN as a staying hurdler and he may well outclass these on reappearance with his record fresh another positive. Indefatigable and Proschema finished first and second in this a year ago, and with both having the benefit of a recent spin, they are the obvious dangers.
