Verdict
LOTUS POND jumped superbly and won in a hack canter back under Rules at Ffos Las last Thursday. He never gave supporters a moment’s worry and will be a very short price to shrug off a penalty in this arguably weaker contest. Sirius Star and Arizona Bound are likely to be among those playing form places and Shaiyzar and Larkhall are previous course winners, though that was a while ago.
