Verdict

Alphabetical Order has already won at Stratford and Bangor this summer but looks to be facing a stiff task conceding 7lb to LUCKY CODY, not taking into account Alan Johns' claim. Brian Ellison's gelding took a while to get to grips with hurdles but looked progressive when beating previous winner Handmaid by 14 lengths over course and distance earlier this month when Battledancer was a well-beaten fifth. Dashing Over has shown promise in bumpers but makes his hurdling debut today.
