    Verdict

    PROBLEMA TIC had few problems getting off the mark over fences at the first time of asking at Fontwell. His jumping was exemplary for a novice and he can give Nicky Henderson a quick double on the card. Pentiffic was a prolific winner in New Zealand but hasn't really fired since arriving in the UK, though should be approaching peak fitness now. Canni Thinkaar has gone close on several occasions but can hardly be improving at the age of 11 but Kauto Relko still has some scope and his confidence will have been boosted by a clear round at Warwick, though he'd probably prefer a stiffer test of stamina than he'll get here.
