The vote goes to GOOD LORD, who was much-improved switched to handicaps over hurdles in the second half of last season and there were positives to take from his chase debut at Sedgefield where he understandably looked short of match-fitness following an eight-month absence. A line can be drawn through Mordred's latest effort and he is feared on the strength of his creditable placed efforts prior to that, while Famoso and River Gold are others to consider.
