Verdict
ADIOS ALONSO was completing for the first time over fences when scoring at Stratford but obviously has ability and could follow up here off a 9lb higher mark with another clear round. Lost In Newyork has proved expensive to follow but should be in the frame in a race like this while winning hurdler Experimentalist should be capable of better after just the two starts over the larger obstacles. Born To Benefit and Toast And Jam might be the pick of the remainder.
