        Verdict

        A bumper winner at the track last year, Imada makes his hurdling bow on his first start since March. Benny's Secret landed a bumper here in the same month and didn't fare too badly on his hurdling debut but DOUBLE W'S (NAP) has a fitness advantage. He would have finished closer at Market Rasen last month on his first start over timber but for a blunder at the last and gets the vote having won a bumper on this card last year. Leading Score is another who can figure if taking to the obstacles while Fire Rock is a newcomer to note.
