      Verdict

      Another tight handicap here for punters to work out with very little between many of the leading lights but the main protagonists look to be Lough Rynn, Rutledge Red and Ross Leader and the vote goes to Lough Rynn. The selection was a good third behind Comply Or Die last time out. This represents a drop in class and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Rutledge Red rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Batoutoftheblue and is sure to be suited by the step in trip. Ross Leader is another that could go well but he was let down by his jumping when well beaten behind Paddy The Optimist last time and he will need to improve in that department if he is to score. Spanish Point is another with place claims on his best form but he may just need the run after a four month absence. Of the remainder Diletia looks to be on a fair mark compared to her hurdle rating and is one to note in the market but for the winner we return to Lough Rynn.
