      Verdict

      Larteta isn't badly treated on his hurdles form but was well beaten on his chasing bow. ENGAI, second on the Flat last time, is starting to slip down the weights. He's unexposed on ground this fast and is taken to come out on top today ahead of Giant O Murchu, only seventh off this mark at Stratford last month. The Last Night appears best watched until his jumping improves while Chestnut Ben has an absence to overcome.
