        Verdict

        A cracking contest here and the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Lets Roll, Instructor, Gringo and Kamanda Laugh and the narrow vote is given to Lets Roll. The selection was the best of these on the flat and he is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut. He has conditions to suit and he looks the value bet. Instructor rates the main danger on his latest second behind Spear Thistle but that form has since been let down and he is taken on with this in mind. Gringo is another flat winner that is worth a cautionary look in the market but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Of the remainder, Kamanda Laugh hails from a yard in form and with the booking of Graham Lee catching the eye he could go well but for the winner we are happy to return to Lets Roll.
