Verdict

SERGEANT continues to go the right way over hurdles, successful for the third time at Exeter in October and losing little caste in defeat in filling the runner-up spot both starts since. He remains one to be interested in and can come out on top again. 3-y-o Tara Iti is a threat with a repeat of his latest display here, along with handicap debutante Durragh.
