Brookview Lad, a half-brother to the smart novice hurdler Trafford Lad is selected to land this for the Carl Llewellyn yard, who hold such a good record in these events. Diablo is penalised after a recent Perth victory where he defied weakness in the market to win impressively. Smoke And Mirrors is another of real interest with the benefit of racecourse experience, that outing behind the smart Gold Award. The Egerton yard are another team that do well with their participants in these contest. The market should be monitored where the remainder are concerned but Brookview Lad is the selection to land the finale.
