    Verdict

    Despite his jumping problems last time when unseating over fences, this looks a good opportunity for Brockton Mist on his return to hurdling. Back on a mark of 105 here, he has won off 4lb higher in the past and Richard Johnson should be able to give him the confidence he needs to get back to winning ways. Nemisto is also extremely well in on his form of three years ago, but despite some consistent figures against his name he has been dropping down the grades and may have to settle with a place again here. Diletia won here on her penultimate start, but an 8lb rise found her out last time. However, she loves the ground and could again go close. The same can also be said of Lizzys First, a winner at Taunton on firm recently, but whose 6lb rise could be a problem.
