Verdict

Lisa Harrison saddled last year's winner but veteran Solway Sam, along with Heart O Annandale, was well behind Sharivarry here at the start of the month and that one was beaten 16 lengths behind old rival Apache Pilot here last week. Maurice Barnes' chaser was overdue a victory but doesn't appeal as the type to follow up off a 7lb higher mark. Time may have run out for West Ship Master and More Madness is an infrequent winner but Better B Quick is not out of this. DAMIENS DILEMMA has a good record in point-to-points and has finished second twice in hunter chases, including once here – a mark of 97 is by no means restrictive on his handicap debut.
