      Verdict

      Colline de Fleurs is returning from a break but he looks a level above these and so he is fancied to score. The selection has winning course form and showed plenty of ability in better races than this one last season. He is effective on soft ground and assuming that he jumps the obstacles on this his first try over fences, his class should see him through. Miss Doublet needs a check in the betting returning from a long absence but can be a danger if the market agrees, whilst Chico Time looks likely to make a better chaser than a hurdler. The other two are extremely hard to fancy on any level, and so we return to Colline de Fleurs as the confident selection.
