Verdict

PERSIPACE contests a selling race for the first time in his career and while he was on the downgrade when last seen over hurdles he looks likely to retain enough ability to defeat his rivals here. Vayland had some solid form a few years ago and can put a poor run last time out behind him by taking second while Lava Lamp is another with decent form when younger and he can claim third. 1. Perspicace 2. Vayland 3. Lava Lamp
