Verdict
Having already won a point-to-point, ARDEN DENIS should make a chaser and did well over hurdles last season for Neil Mulholland. Greyed A should be all the better for a run at Exeter and is another for the short-list with Richard Johnson taking over the reins. He went close under the champion over hurdles at Sedgefield a year ago. Le Coeur Net showed some ability over the smaller obstacles but Beni Light needs to up his game for a switch to fences.
