Verdict

TOP TARGET made a promising start in this sphere when third at Wetherby and is fancied to build on it here and add to his previous pointing/hurdling successes. Veteran Ladronne is feared most on the back of his comfortable Sedgefield win, although Lilting Verse returned with an encouraging Ffos Las second and can also have a say.
