        Verdict

        Methag has been hurdling since joining Alex Hales but won twice on the Flat in France last year and is hard to assess on that form. Attain failed to take advantage of a lower mark back on Turf last time but was placed behind the progressive Synodic at this venue earlier when finishing ahead of Bamako Du Chatelet and Pearly Prince. BOSPHORUS PRINCE is the least exposed and stayed on well for second at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut. This longer trip should suit on that evidence and he may come out best.
