    Verdict

    Top Beak only won a seller at Catterick in March but this isn’t much better and Max Young’s eight-year-old placed over 2m here earlier. Say Nothing has form over the course and distance but is now 0-20 though has finished second on numerous occasions. POSTIE can’t get much lower in the weights and he is among the least exposed in this so gets a tentative vote with Wisecracker more effective over the larger obstacles. Mr Yeats is probably the pick of the remainder.
