Verdict

A few of these might have been happier on the hurdles course but My Lord has been in good form on the level recently, winning at Wolverhampton and in Guernsey, and should make a bold bid despite his penalty. VISERION tackles 1m4f for the first time but should be suited judged on his staying-on fifth over 1m2f at Leicester so get the vote. Southerly Buster stays further so won't be stopping and he's lightly raced. The Quarterjack could still be good enough to play a part in this grade and Abertillery wouldn't be without a chance off bottom weight.
