Verdict
LEULAHLEULAHLAY looks nicely handicapped and he might be worth chancing. Isabel Tompsett takes the mount on Evan Williams' gelding and considering he is rated 68 on the flat, he might be able to take advantage of this mark of 93 over hurdles. Although yet to win in 12 starts, he should run well at rewarding odds. Top-weight Henry Hook is in better form and after a solid Exeter third he commands respect, a comment that also applies to Chalice Welcome who has some solid Fakenham form to his name. The handicapper is not giving too much rope to Monsieur, whilst Kyoto is quicker to come down the handicap and is not discounted despite his jockey having a first ride in public. Ruby Valentine and the enigmatic Monfils Monfils are others to consider in an open finale.
