      Verdict

      SPECIAL VINTAGE was easy to back when only beating one home behind stablemate Mono Man at Ascot in February but Nicky Henderson's gelding only finished 10 lengths behind well-regarded third Persian Snow and a repeat of that effort would probably make him hard to beat here. Sentimentaljourney is related to several winning hurdlers, as is Benefit Of Youth, but there is more speed in the pedigree of fellow newcomer Wheres The Hare so Rebecca Curtis' gelding could be the one for forecast-backers.
