        Verdict

        Nicky Henderson has won three of the five previous renewals of this bumper and runs two this year. Colonial Dreams has already been beaten twice and the Flemensfirth newcomer REBEL COMMANDER makes more appeal, though he looks nothing special on breeding. Destrier and Rooster Cogburn are other debutants worth a second look with Whats Not To Like looking the best of those with experience. He was just beaten by a subsequent hurdles winner at Stratford last May, though hasn’t raced since.
