      Verdict

      FOR LANGY edges this at the weights and was having only his second start over fences when not beaten far at Fontwell. Philip Hobbs’ charge gets the vote. Story Of Friends is also unexposed over the larger obstacles though won between the flags a fortnight ago and should have the measure of the other recent point-to-point winners Sixteen Letters and Tom Barton on these terms
