      Verdict

      HOLYWELL looks a high-class chaser in the making and ended last season with an impressive victory in the Grade 1 novices' chase at Aintree. Neither Many Clouds nor Green Flag could live with him on that occasion and Jonjo O'Neill's charge is the one to beat here. Eduard is another with a big future over fences judged on April's Grade 2 win at Ayr. Nicky Richards' charge should make a race of it but Up To Something and Me And Ben look outclassed in this company.
