        Verdict

        A Grade 3 winner in heavy going over fences when trained in France, CAT TIGER opened his account over hurdles at Exeter on only his second start for Paul Nicholls’ yard. He looks capable of defying a penalty given today’s moderate opposition before facing tougher assignments. Bumper winner Keep Rolling failed to complete his hurdling bow at Wetherby and is fitted with a tongue-tie while Debden Bank was well beaten over timber at Southwell and Flagrant Delitiep debuts for new connections having raced in bumpers in France. Points winner Go Whatever never figured over hurdles last time while Tuff Times debuts under Rules having won between the flags back in March.
