    Verdict

    Dhaudeloup gets the confident vote here with Lanmire Tower and Running Times rated as the main dangers. The selection has not won for four years but he looks to have been found a really good opportunity here to get his head in front. He has finished second on each of his last three starts but the step up in trip should suit him here and he is the one they all have to beat. Lanmire Tower is eased in grade after being beaten a distance last time, but if he could run up to his best form he would go close. Running Times was a decent type on the flat but he has been overall very disappointing over hurdles. Double Agent looks the best of the rest, but for the winner we return to Dhaudeloup.
