Lord Torranaga and Saint Arvans are both proven winners over hurdles but the 7lb penalties they carry have to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for LONG STAY, who won a bumper impressively on his Rules debut in September. That form suggests that he should be hard to beat if putting in a clear round of jumping this afternoon. Bareback Jack won his sole start between the flags and he has to be respected having been purchased for 70,000 pounds earlier in the year.
