      Verdict

      Prouts Pub won a bumper on the Polytrack around this time last year and has been gradually finding his feet over timber, leading until the last on his latest try at Plumpton. Apterix may be capable of better but Diego Suarez has got nowhere near so far. That's My Rabbit's Kilbeggan bumper has produced a couple of winners but this will be his first run for new connections. NICOLAS CHAUVIN can complete a quick double for Nicky Henderson and Barry Geraghty as he quickened impressively to win his bumper at Newton Abbot in September and the second has franked the form since.
