Verdict

Beyond Control was a fair hurdler at his best last season and is proven on the ground having won on a similar surface at Taunton. Paul Nicholls stable are in top form and this gelding by Supreme Leader has always looked an embryonic chaser so is the TEAMtalk selection. Kemal's Council was also a fair hurdler but he took a couple of runs before he found his best form last season and he may just need this run to sharpen him up. Mr Cospector is also worth of consideration on his best for but this five-year old has not encountered ground as soft as this before and it is anyone's guess as to weather he will handle it. Ultimate Gold needs to improve significantly on his latest form to score.
