Largy Reach is surely better than he’s shown so far over hurdles and makes more appeal than stable companion Son Of Aliciaslady but this should chiefly concern LARUSSO and Allbetsoff. Stuart Edmunds’ gelding hasn’t been beaten far in any of his last three runs so gets the nod over Mark Walford’s Irish import.
