Verdict
COLD SOBAR made a winning debut under Rules when landing a maiden hurdle here last month with plenty left in the tank. A winner between the flags, this longer trip is not a problem and he can defy a penalty. Irish challenger Langdale Lane won at Ayr in February and the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form but Sound And Fury was beaten under a penalty last time having scored at Fontwell earlier. Gege Ville has undergone a breathing operation after a disappointing effort here and looks best of the rest.
