        Verdict

        TOLLISHILL, Black Jack Blues and That'll Do form the short-list with a chance taken with Nicky Henderson's newcomer. The Seven Barrows trainer has his bumper horses in good form and this gelding (who was bred to be a Derby winner, is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner and once fetched 150,000 dollars) is sure to know his job. That'll Do also hails from a powerful yard that has a good record in bumpers and is related to winners on the level and over jumps; the market will be useful. Black Jack Blues' win at Bangor sets the standard but could be vulnerable to an above average newcomer as he has to give weight away all round. There's nothing particularly eyecatching amongst the remainder and we expect Tollishill to be a warm order.
