      Verdict

      Point-to-point and bumper winner NOBBY (NAP) has had just the one race over hurdles, finishing third at Newbury in a much better race than this despite shedding a plate. He should make short work of these if reproducing that effort. My Macho Man could grab a place eased in grade while March’s course and distance winner Jante Law won’t go down without a fight if handling this slightly quicker surface. Our Percy kept on to finish second at Carlisle but that was over a longer trip.
