      Verdict

      It's quite remarkable to see PEACE AND CO make his chasing debut here after what has hitherto proved a major fall from grace over hurdles since landing the 2015 Triumph Hurdle. Great things were subsequently expected of him but he has not won since and perhaps more importantly has only been seen in public six times in the past two years. Connections are obviously persevering with him and he should have far too much class for such modest opposition if he takes to his new discipline. For Yes was no match for Midnight Shot and Cup Final here at the last meeting but he looks the one most likely to take advantage should the hot favourite fail to fire. Vic's Last Stand is next best on his chasing bow as the two Irish raiders have plenty to find on the book.
