Verdict

Gary Moore's AUTHORISED SPEED was highly promising in bumpers and looked a most exciting prospect when making a winning hurdling debut at Lingfield so is taken to make light of his 5 lb penatly here before making his mark in graded company. Nicky Henderson has a fine record in this contest so his newcomer Immortal rates the chief threat. William of York and Godot can fight it out for minor honours.
