Verdict

Vango De Vaige won a veterans’ point-to-point last month but doesn’t have a great strike-rate under Rules. Time Leader won a hurdle and later placed over fences. He beat What A Glance a distance between the flags in November so goes on the shortlist. HOMME D’UN SOIR is penalised for winning a beginners’ chase at Roscommon in August but Amy Cox takes off 7lb and Francesca Poste’s recent acquisition is probably the one to beat, though Alan Hill’s Getting Closer has placed in a couple of Opens this season and looks a big threat.
