Verdict

LAGANHILL shapes as if he'll be well suited by this step up to 3m and is narrowly preferred to fellow unexposed sort Newton Tornado, who was going well when tipping up 4 out on his Cheltenham chase debut. Fellow novice Magical King is another who could have a say if taking to chasing at the first time of asking.

2	Pretty useful dual novice hurdler last season and made a sound start to his chase career when fourth of 12 in what was likely a decent novice handicap at Carlisle (21f, good to soft) on reappearance 4 weeks ago. Open to progress, particularly at this trip. 1st Pick 2 Laganhill Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Henry Daly J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Henry Daly	98	-	-	-	40%

5	Ended his first season under Rules with a maiden hurdle win at Ffos Las in April. Landed a point in Ireland at the start of his career and he had yet to be asked for his effort when falling 4 out on Cheltenham chase debut/reappearance 5 weeks ago. Remains a useful chase prospect. 2nd Pick 5 Newton Tornado (Fr) Jockey: Jamie Brace Trainer: Rebecca Curtis J: Jamie Brace T: Rebecca Curtis	100	-	-	-	42%

3	Fairly useful and consistent hurdler at up to 3m. Placed in a point at the start of his career. Respected chase newcomer assuming he's fully tuned after 9 months off. 3rd Pick 3 Magical King (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Hammond Trainer: Stuart Edmunds J: Charlie Hammond T: Stuart Edmunds	91	-	-	-	13%
