      Verdict

      Favourites have won seven of the last 10 runnings of this novices' hurdle so a close look at the market is advised. Trop Fort will be near the head of the betting but it's hard to overlook a poor effort at Ludlow latest and, though dropped in grade, we'll take him on with LUCKY LANDING. Already a winner twice over fences, he just failed to hold off the progressive Saints Or Sinners over 2m1f here last month and is sure to appreciate the step up in trip. Overpriced's Wetherby win in May looks modest form while winning pointer Forgotten Symphony and Grand Exit, who has been off the track for a long time, are probably best watched on this occasion.
