In depth

Verdict

Unless Mary Reveley's Lady Lap Dancer improves for the switch to hurdling this should go to Westgate Run, who is the TEAMtalk selection. Richard Fahey's five-year-old has shown steady improvement in his three starts over hurdles and, with the form of his latest third at Southwell looking solid, he should be too good for these. Dual bumper winner Prime Attraction and George Moore's exposed, but consistent, Lavender Lady look the best of the rest.
