        In depth

        Verdict

        Anything Nicky Henderson saddles in a bumper has to be respected though Hinton Indiana looks the type to do better when sent hurdling. Fourjacks has run decent races at Kelso and Catterick but looks vulnerable to something with a finishing kick and that could be provided by KNOCKALONGI. Tony McCoy was on board when Rebecca Curtis' charge made his debut at Bangor where he led at the half-mile pole before finishing a good third to Avoca Promise. Likely to be held up longer here, he can gain his first success. Winning point-to-pointer Shan Blue did nothing wrong at Worcester in October and looks certain to improve, but Venitzia is related to a 2m6f hurdles winner and from the family of several staying chasers so may need further.
