    Verdict

    Henllan Harri won at Newton Abbot in August having been beaten by Call Me Vic before that. The latter had earlier fallen victim to BELMOUNT at Ludlow so the Twiston-Davies' charge should come out best in this on collateral form having since gone close again at Warwick. Voix D'eau was still beaten a long way when second at Stratford but that was his first start since March and he can finish closer today while Coologue has a chance on his best form over hurdles as he goes chasing for the first time and looks best of the rest.
