Racing Post verdict
Third-partyNot much of a contest on form, with Loch Cuan having already shown he handles this track and trip by winning a maiden hurdle here last month. He carries a penalty but has more to offer and the runner-up spot looks a fair reward for his nearest pursuer. Tribal Moon shaped more purposefully last time and holds the main claims among the rest. Loch Cuan is our selection.
