    Verdict

    Tinacurra Lad has been placed several times between the flags but this is his first start under Rules. Currahee has been knocking on the door, finding only one too good at Carlisle and Perth in his last two runs over fences, and he looks a better bet than Harbour Way, third on his only two runs over the larger obstacles at Sedgefield. But we'll take a chance on the fitness of BESCOT SPRINGS, who won twice over hurdles last year and only went down by a head to Club Class on his chase debut over this C&D in November. A repeat of that effort should suffice today.
