Plenty of runners, but few with a serious chance. At his best Musical Sling would have made short work of these, but he appears to have lost his way. Balanak, one time favourite for the Triumph Hurdle, is not one to trust, so a chance is taken with recent winner Job Rage. He comes here in good form and will handle underfoot conditions.
