Verdict
Planetoid beat Keep Kicking last month in the first leg of a landing a double over 1m4f here. The former has won over hurdles so should last home while the same comment also applies to Goodwood winner My Lord. But WINTOUR LEAP is proven over the trip with a couple of placed efforts here this year and is also preferred to the returning Four Nations, runner-up over course and distance over a year ago. Fennann, Crouching Harry and Dukes Den are all recent winners over 2m but step up in class off higher marks for this.
