Verdict

SPORTING ACE has been going the right way over hurdles this season, again running well when third at Warwick last time, and he can return to winning ways with the drop back in trip set to suit. Top of The Bill could have more to offer in first-time cheekpieces and heads the list of dangers, ahead of Sacre Coeur.
