      Verdict

      Jumping could be a big factor here and Unmistakably could provide the answer in a tricky affair with a number of others that need to be considered. the selection is related to some very useful winners, including BeRude Not To, and the way he looked to have a future when scoring in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle 189 days ago. Now with Bridget Nicholls, Ruby Walsh has agreed to take the ride and he looks an interesting contender here. Running through the others. Bronzesmith has chances on the best of his form but is a bit in-and-out. Brooklands lad is hard to fancy first time up over fences. Dunkerron won a three-runner affair at Plumpton but defeat next time leaves him with something to find. Elgar has shown some promise over hurdles and although today's longer trip might help, others are preferred. Flinders Chase has form enough to be on the premises but didn't win over fences last time around and lacks a recent run. Aristocracy has shown little so far but is now with Henrietta Knight. See More Snow is another that could be competitive if performing to his best, and first time blinkers might help with regard to his jumping. This brings the wheel spinning back towards Unmistakably, who gets our vote.
