Verdict

SIR ECTOR has placed on his two most recent hurdles outings and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up at Down Royal last time out. The selection has the trip and ground in his favour and can see off last time out scorer Silver Planeur who can claim second spot ahead of Naturally Blond who has run well over this trip in the past.
  1. Sir Ector
  2. Silver Planeur
  3. Naturally Blond
