        Verdict

        Presenting Express gets the vote here with Be Telling and Baileys Best rating the main dangers. The selection was a progressive type over fences last season, returns to hurdles on a lenient mark and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Be Telling rates the main danger on his latest third behind Idbury but that form has since been let down and again he looks vulnerable off this mark. Baileys Best is another that could go well on his latest second behind Another Superman but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Fort Ord is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but his best form is on a softer surface. Of the remainder Hill Forts Henry has yet to win over a trip this far and with this in mind for the winner we return to the well handicapped Presenting Express.
