Verdict

BALIYAD won a seller at Stratford back in September and chased home an in-form rival at Wincanton just under two weeks ago. This is another sharp track and Finn Lambert takes off a handy 7lb. Lusaka hasn’t been beaten far in novice and maiden company but Zuraig bled from the nose when a well-beaten third at Uttoxeter last month and Lady P has already been beaten in sellers. Ring The Moon won the last time he ran over hurdles so can’t be ignored.
