        Verdict

        Noble Calling gets our vote here ahead of Ardwelshin. Martin Pipe runs two here but Tony McCoy has elected to ride Noble Calling for Ron Hodges. Not only is that a tip in itself, but the seven-year-old has the best form in the race and looks set to run a big race. Ardwelshin comes firmly into the reckoning based on his third Stratford third two runs ago and he looks set to give the selection the most to do. Turning to the others. The well-related Cantoris has been desperately disappointing over hurdles thus far and is now tried in first-time blinkers. Working Girl has been disappointing this term but a repeat of her Stratford third around this time last year would give her a good chance of claiming some money in a modest seller. Cristophe has the odd bit of form and might nab a place but for the winner we return to Noble Calling.
