Verdict

Rebecca Curtis has won the last two renewals but her Hidden Impact disappointed on his reappearance and is having his first run over hurdles. Paul Nicholls introduces the £260,000 purchase THE DELLERCHECKOUT, who was left to come home alone in a Lismore point-to-point back in March. He is sure to have been well schooled over timber and this wouldn't be the most testing of starts. Delire D'estruval was placed over hurdles and fences in France and should be winning soon for Ben Pauling while Overworkdunderpaid has made the frame between the flags and in a bumper so also warrants a second look along with Dan Skelton's Hear No Evil and Spider's Bite but a penalty may tie down Barton Knoll.
