In depth

Verdict

If able to translate his best hurdles form to fences Log On Intersky should be too good for his rivals and the six-year-old gets the TEAMtalk vote. The son of Insan only won once over timber, in novice company at this course last month, and was a faller in his only previous start over fences but he has the making of a chaser and should outclass his rivals. Keiran has changed stables since last seen and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains. Star Councel has shown little sign of encouragement since being switched to fences and a bigger danger to the selection may be recent Perth second Quarterstaff. However, the general level of his form suggests that he has it to do to beat the Johnson horse.
