        Verdict

        IDDERGEM doesn’t look straightforward but beat Laser Focus a couple of lengths in a seller at Stratford last month and, taking into account riders’ claims, is actually a pound better off here. Uncle Arthur has not managed a place in eight hurdle starts but Zuraig won on the Flat in May and should be suited by this sharp track.
