Verdict
Stopped Out could struggle under his welter burden and it may be worth taking him on with either Civil Servant or CLAUDE CARTER with the latter nominally preferred as he should start at the larger price of the pair. In fairness, that's no more than he deserves on his form over hurdles but those runs have all come on testing ground whereas the pick of his bumper performances came on a sounder surface. It's to be hoped, therefore, that the quicker ground can help to show him in a better light. The quicker ground should also help Civil Servant return to somewhere near his best and he's feared whilst Danish Rebel has the form in the book to go well if straight enough after an absence. Stopped Out made every yard to win as he liked at Kelso last time and is due to race from a higher mark in future (as is third home Solis) but he may not be allowed such an easy time in front on this occasion. Arc Warrior and Baaher are others to bear in mind but a chance is taken with Claude Carter.
