      Verdict

      Dalkadam is 0-14 over fences and was beaten twice of this mark at the end of last year. HINT OF GREY is having only his third run over the larger obstacles and was second over 2m4f here last time. He looks a better bet than stablemate Waikiki Waves, who is making his chasing bow and was very inconsistent over hurdles. Upham Running hasn’t won in more than four years and never over fences but looks the pick of the remainder.
