Verdict

STRONG LEADER was impressive in bumpers and wasn't hard pressed to make a successful start over hurdles at Uttoxeter recently. With big improvement on the cards, he's taken to defy a penalty at the likely expense of Etalon, who made a positive start in this sphere in a novice at Warwick. Nollyador was fairly useful in bumpers and should take to this new discipline, so he's also considered.

  1. STRONG LEADER
  2. ETALON (IRE)
  3. NOLLYADOR (FR)
