    Verdict

    Different Class will hopefully prove himself to be different class agianst his opposition. He has won three novice hurdles to date and to win with those penalties suggests that he has lots of ability. He will have been well schooled and if putting in a clear round of jumping he has to be the horse to follow. Of his rivals Verasi will pose as the biggest danger. He has contested against the very best over hurdles and was rated at 138. He has his chase debut here and once again will be a horse to follow during the season in novice chases. He will win his races but in such a hot event he may have to settle for place money only. Space Cowboy comes form the same yard and looks very much the second string. He does have chase experince on his side but looks exposed on what he has acheived so far. So for the winner we return to Different Class.
