Verdict
LUTTRELL LAD, a smart bumper, made a winning start over timber at Worcester and has lost little in defeat in subsequent starts. He can see off Silent Revolution, who made a successful hurdling debut at Newbury before pulled up in the Supreme at Cheltenham. Winning bumper Charlie's Glance looks the only logical alternative as he hasn't been beaten far in any of his four starts over timber.
