Verdict
Bumper winner Micronormous has had a breathing operation after a couple of moderate efforts over hurdles while The Eminent Goose, who finished third at Huntingdon last time, is fitted with a tongue-tie. HOUI CHERIE finished runner-up at Leicester when last in action and may prove the one to side with in this. Heneryetta Bay, Cooleenymore and Nancy Till have form between the flags but all debut under Rules.
