Verdict

Border Lad faces a stiff task at the weights in this but the other trio are all promising novices. Indian Daudaie has got his act together and has already won at Fontwell and Worcester this month, while Sublime Talent is undefeated over fences so far after victories at Fakenham and Perth. Adam Wedge was in the saddle both times so it may not be wise to read too much into the fact that Paul Moloney rides stablemate TIGER O'TOOLE, though the latter is still preferred. He gets 4lb from his likely market rivals, was the best of these over hurdles and has been taking on better company to date over fences.
