      Verdict

      Industrial Star sprung a surprise when landing a handicap at Kelso last week and Micky Hammond's gelding has to be respected following that improved effort but the 7lb penalty for that success makes this tougher and preference is for PADDYS HONOUR, who gets the verdict ahead of Sassanias. Alan King's gelding is relatively unexposed after just six starts and, having shown a decent level of form in bumpers, he has taken to time to find his feet over hurdles. The five-year-old has shown improved form with each start over timber though and he has to be strongly considered. Michael Chapman's McEldowney and the nine-year-old Gagarin make little appeal and of more interest may be Howard Johnson's Laborec, who has disappointed in his last two starts but has solid claims on earlier form. The vote though goes to Paddys Honours who showed a similar level of ability to Sassanias in bumpers but his form over hurdles looks marginally better and the Philip Hobbs-trained gelding is just preferred.
