Verdict
Len Lungo had two in this at the five day stage and relies on Magic Combination. He has been in the grip of the Handicapper of late, but he has relented a little here, and he should run well without being quite good enough to win. Unexposed over hurdles Loop The Loup could be the one. A useful performer on the flat, he showed an aptitude for hurdling and should find this company more to his liking. Wave Rock, a useful chaser, was a lucky winner on his return to hurdling last time and has more to do in this company.
