Verdict

LORD TOPPER has placed on two of his last three handicap starts and he can register a second victory over hurdles by taking this staying handicap event. The selection represents a good yard here and with a top jockey in the saddle he can get the better of Max Forte who ran well over this trip last time out. Theatrebar can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him stepping up in trip for this.
  1. Lord Topper
  2. Max Forte
  3. Theatrebar
