      Verdict

      A small field turns out for the selling hurdle and it can go to Adalpour but Musimaro and Lowe Go represent serious dangers. Adalpour has run two solid races in defeat at this level on his last two runs and a repeat of either will see him go close. Turning to the others. Cody has bits of form but does not consent to show it too often and Greenborough finished well behind the selection here last time over a slightly shorter trip, but Musimaro, with Tony McCoy booked, comes firmly into the argument based on his fourth behind Legal Lunch at Fontwell two runs ago. The Fenman is another who has to be respected if running to the best of his overall form and Lowe Go came up trumps in this grade three runs ago and has to be respected on his return to this grade for the first time since that winning effort. It could well be close between the three horses mentioned but we give Adalpour another chance.
