Verdict

Lord On The Run gets the vote here Leadaway and Topwell rating the main dangers. The selection was going well when falling last time out but in the hope that he puts in a fluent round of jumping on his return to hurdles he will be very hard to beat off what looks a lenient mark.Leadaway rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Moyne Pleasure but this looks more competitive and his penalty may just find him out. Topwell looks well weighted on his best form but he has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Hush Tiger disappointed last time but would have a chance on his second behind American President and he should be noted in the market. Of the remainder The Right People hails from a shrewd yard and is another to note in the market but Lord on The Run looks progressive and he gets our vote.
