Verdict
There is a strong Irish challenge for this opening seller with James Lambe represented by both Hawksbury Heights and Inner Voice and Ronald O'Leary saddling the lightly raced Not Til Monday and all three have to be considered but it is hard to get away from TOTOMAN. Tim Vaughan's gelding won a novices' hurdle at Bangor in July and was disputing a close second before falling three out at Uttoxeter on his most recent start last month; if his jumping holds up, the son of Mtoto can resume winning ways. Market Rasen winner Liberty Seeker is likely to struggle under his penalty, while Richard Guest's Yossi has not been running well in recent outings on the level.
