      Verdict

      Texas Ranger has won his last two races in good style and he is clearly improving but he may struggle to give a stone away to Welsh Boarder who was a lot better than he was on the flat and he showed plenty of promise on his only run over hurdles to suggest he can score here. Big Quick looks the only other conceivable danger but he will need to improve to win.
