        Verdict

        A trappy looking contest which can be taken by Hors La Loi, while Rigmarole and Sonevafushi should not be far away. Ian Williams' gelding is 2lb better off for a one and three quarter length beating by Edmo Heights at Aintree last time out, seems to go on any ground runs off a nice racing weight of 10st 10lb. He hasn't won for some time now, but has been running well enough nevertheless and it looks like his turn here. Edmo Heights now looks fully exposed after a 5lb rise for that latest success. he too likes fast ground but may just have too much on his plate here. Sonevafushi is an unknown quantity on fast ground, but has won on good and should not be too inconvenienced here. He meets Edmo Heights on the same terms as at Aintree and should have a bit too much to find with him here, judged by that run. Rigmarole switches back from fences and will relish the fast ground. The tongue strap will help Paul Nicholls' charge and he can give the selection most to do.
