A fair bumper to end proceedings but there will be plenty of support for Nicky Henderson's newcomer TOP OF THE RANGE and his pedigree suggests he can make a winning start. Dancing Emily came in for support on her debut at Taunton and impressed with her victory over Maid Of Silk. She will certainly improve again as will One Term after a decent effort behind Harry Topper at Hereford. Victor Leudorum ran well enough at Stratford last time but has had his chances and is up against promising types here.
