      Verdict

      Blu Teen looks to be going the right way over fences judged by his facile success at Chepstow last month and the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding is hard to oppose, getting the vote over Bob Bites Back and Cannon Fire. The last mentioned represents the back top form yard of Evan Williams and may be open to further improvement but seems booked for a place at best. Neither Roman Rampage nor Strong Will make any sort of appeal and a bigger threat should come from the second of the two Evan Williams-trained runners Bob Bites Back. Blu Teen has solid claims though and is hard to oppose.
