        Verdict

        Gazump gets the confident vote to win this handicap hurdle with Figaro du Rocher and Grimshaw heading a long list of dangers. The selection won very impressively last time out at Perth when defeating Panmure and although he has a penalty for that win he won of the style of an improver and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Figaro du Rocher rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Dom d'Orgeval but although the step up in trip is sure to suit he appears to have his own ideas about the game so he can not be backed with any confidence. Grimshaw is also worthy of respect as he was a fair second behind Wizard Of Edge last time but that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance is not sure to suit. Stolen Song was a fair fifth behind Hernandita last time and as that form has been franked he is another with place claims. Of the remainder Russian Court has dropped to a handy market and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Gazump.
