      In depth

      Verdict

      Sorrento King is a useful hurdler but has failed to make the same impact over the larger obstacles and looks opposable while Victor Laszlo has had plenty of chances over birch and is exposed so the vote goes to Strawman. The five-year-old kept on well to land a similar heat at Fontwell last time and the step up in trip should be in his favour so he looks the one to beat in a modest event.
