      Verdict

      A return to fences and three miles may see NAGAM in the winners' enclosure; the one to follow him home may be Ibberton although one might wonder whether this track will play to his strengths. The selection was disappointing on his final start last season, finishing a well-beaten eighth behind At The Money at Market Rasen. Today he returns to fences over three miles and he looks sure to run well with Timmy Murphy taking over in the saddle. Cold Mountain is visored as he searches for a first win since June. He has worn the cheek-pieces on his last three starts but to little effect. Top Dressing is another whose latest efforts have been below par; one wouldn¿t have thought that fitness would be the excuse as he has run well fresh in the past and so he has a little to prove now. Nesnaas is creeping back to a tasty mark, Ibberton stays all day and looks likely to try and make this a test of stamina, whilst Rudivale's comeback run at Exeter over hurdles was very promising indeed and he looks attractively handicapped. An open finale where nothing looks too rock solid, however we are happy to stick with Nagam.
