In a wide-open handicap hurdle AKBARITO looks marginally the best treated of these so has our percentage call in preference to Swift Lady and Verumontanum. Unexposed the pick put in a career best when a close up fourth of 17 at Down Royal last time, He's up just a pound for that and in the context of this race that's lenient. Swift Lady was only beaten a couple of lengths last time after being freshen up with a break. There's an extra 3lbs for her to carry here but she looks a live one. Verumontanum returned well form a break on his last start but looks high enough in the weights while Fabled has some bits of form that could get him involved. A tight race that can go to Akbarito.
