Verdict
Our Three Sons has done well since returning to hurdling and followed up a Plumpton victory with a third at Southwell. AGE OF WISDOM has been frustrating to follow but has run some of his best races here and is handicapped to go close in a race like this. Caspers Court is 7lb lower than when recording his only victory to date and the maiden Floy Joy also has a squeak with his yard in good form.
