Verdict
BORNTOBEALEADER is taken to defy a penalty having won at Ludlow recently in a first-time hood. He had Record Art well back in third on that occasion and connections of the latter will be hoping today's headgear as the same effect on their charge. Milton Harris sent out last year’s winner and Cabrakan debuts over hurdles having won on the all-weather on the Flat but Play By The Rules failed to win on the level and also makes his hurdling bow.
