In depth
Verdict
A tricky finale with a wide range of jockeyship on view but a tentative TEAMtalk vote goes to Lanos. The Tom George-trained gelding has shown a useful level of form in novice events and looks capable of conceding weight to inferior rivals under an experienced pilot. Mutadarra ran out an easy winner at Wincanton last time but that race took little winning and he has gone up 8lb since so may struggle to follow up. Amwell Star is lightly raced over hurdles so there should be more to come and he looked unlucky when badly hampered three out at Fakenham earlier this month so is another to consider in the getting-out stakes.
