Verdict
LIMITED RESERVE (NAP) was well backed over course and distance four weeks ago and duly obliged. He was raised 8lb for that but James Bowen claims 5lb so the top weight should win again. Zalvados has been placed in six of his eight hurdle starts but has yet to win but did score twice on heavy going on the Flat in France. Kk Lexion probably needs a bit further but should give a good account and makes more appeal than Wetherby specialist Blue Hussar and Bazooka, who will both carry more than their allotted weight.
