Verdict
Fergal O’Brien won this last year and useful bumper winner LEADING THEATRE can make a successful transition to hurdles. Cool Stone has been frustrating to follow and may have to settle for second place again following wind surgery. Last Of A Legend still has a bit of scope but Le Mur finished tailed off on her debut over timber.
