    Verdict

    WHAT A LAUGH has a terrific record between the flags and appeared to have plenty left in the locker when beating the useful Current Exchange on the bridle over C&D earlier this month. He looks one to follow and can give the weight away to David Easterby's Classinaglass, another prolific winner in point-to-points. This pair should dominate with Ballyjames arguably best of the rest as he has a bit more scope than Scotmail Too and Topinambour.
