      Verdict

      Lord Henry is tough to peg back if getting into a rhythm but these are stiff fences and he isn't certain to get his own way out in front today. LORD RYEFORD didn't appear to get home behind Turko over 3m at Newbury last time but that was a stronger race than this and Tom George's charge is worth another chance over a trip at which he has proved successful in the past. The Polomoche disappointed between the flags last time and looks opposable under a double penalty while Von Origny is an infrequent winner.
