      Verdict

      A couple of these are fit from a campaign hurdling. GAMESTERS ICON (NAP) has been going well over jumps and went close over 1m4f off a higher mark here in 2020. He has to go on the shortlist and a case can also be made for Three Castles, who won over 1m6f at Musselburgh last year but is possibly more effective on better ground. Bollin Neil has won six of his 29 career starts but is only a second ride on Turf for the inexperienced Brandon Wilkie. Arrange has found only one too good in three of his four runs and is the least exposed, though has switched stables since last seen.
