Verdict

Susan Corbett must be pleased with what Ahead Of The Curve has produced since joining the yard for £24,000 in May, and this improving five-year-old gelding shouldn't be unduly concerned by this step up in trip and looks assured to be on the premises with conditions to suit. Landecker is another with both trip and ground conditions in his favour, but in addition to race fitness being a slight worry, he's yet to win anywhere else other than his beloved Kelso. So, in another open contest, a chance is taken that SUN CLOUD can cope with a drop in trip on his first start since May, and continue to exploit a hurdles handicap mark which remains 5lb below his current mark over fences (4lb higher than for his 3m2f course success in April 2017).
