In depth
Verdict
Web Perceptions is the one to beat here with Wayward Melody and Sunray also for the shortlist. The selection was a fair performer on the flat and made a pleasing debut over hurdles when defeating Banningham Blaze in good style. He will be hard to beat, despite his penalty, and the fact that AP McCoy again takes the ride fuels the confidence. Wayward Melody is the main danger and she won well when defeating April Mist last time out, but this looks tougher. Sunray has plenty of placed form to his name without winning, and that trend looks set to continue here as he gives the impression he will be better over further. So we go for Web Perceptions to continue his unbeaten record over hurdles.
