Verdict

Turbo gained the only victory of his career in a bumper here but his jumping has let him down over fences. Persian Wind has managed to win twice over the bigger obstacles and the lack of a recent run is never a problem for one from his stable while Pat's Pearl hails from a yard going well and is better than she showed at Uttoxeter after making a successful chasing debut over 2m3f on this track. King's War, 0-19 over hurdles, didn't show much in his first three starts over fences but it was a different matter at Wexford where he jumped well and stayed on strongly. He's up 7lb and can go well again though in the expectation that this will turn into a test of stamina SCHOOL LANE, runner-up in a much better race over 3m4f here in March, looks the one to beat. Creadan Grae, a winner over fences at Perth in September, had a run over hurdles last month so should be ready.
