Got The Urge makes most appeal in this selling handicap hurdle and he is nominated over Lazy Lena and Talarive. The selection is a 5-year-old who has shown some decent form in Ireland and with the booking of Tony McCoy in the plate very eyecatching, he could be good enough to score. Lazy Lena won well last time when beating Named At Dinner and with this step-up in trip definitely in her favour she should go well. Talarive is another that will have no problems with the trip but he is basically exposed and others make more appeal. Evan Williams sends Aristi to post and she will be suite by the drop in distance after being well beaten at Perth last time. However, we prefer the claims of Got The Urge who can lead them home.
