Verdict

TOP SPEED upped his game to score in a novice hurdle at Down Royal and, as an easy winner of his only start in points, he appeals as the type to make a better chaser, so he's preferred to The Priests Leap, who is having just his second outing for Gordon Elliott. Bonarc is another one to consider.
