      Verdict

      It's no surprise to see BIG HANDS HARRY have his attentions turned to chasing after just the four starts over timber where he's already revealed plenty of ability. Chasing was always going to be his game though and he's taken to make a winning start over the larger obstacles. Minella On Line looks the prime threat, conceding just a couple of pounds to the selection on the back of a highly pleasing chase debut at Chepstow behind Sausalito Sunrise, who has since franked the form with an excellent second at Cheltenham's recent Open meeting behind Kings Palace. Son Of Suzie and Astigos were second and fifth at Carlisle last time and placings should be confirmed whilst Polisky finally got off the mark over fences at the twelfth time of asking the last day. His experience could well prove useful, likewise that of Bullet Street. Indeed the latter could well emerge as a real threat to all if the rains stay away.
