Verdict

Thirteen line up for the finale, a very competitive handicap hurdle, that could concern Twentytwosilver, Island Stream and Tin Symphony, with the first named possibly just having the edge. This four-year-old is not the most consistent of animals but put up a superb display last time when a close second behind Senna Da Silva over course and distance. His solitary success came back in 2002 on the flat but if repeating that last run this could be his chance to double his tally. Island Stream reverts to hurdling after finding problems over the larger obstacles and if his confidence hasn't suffered too badly he should be in the shake up. Tin Symphony has put up some very good efforts in defeat and will be difficult to keep out of the frame here. Rakassa is another to watch out for here despite top-weight, but Twentytwosilver deserves to win a race of this nature and gets the vote.
