      Verdict

      QUOI DE NEUF (NAP) was a very easy winner over hurdles here eight days ago and placed twice over fences at the track last season – he looks well treated over the larger obstacles at present. Fuji Flight never threatened when third at Uttoxeter last month but Charlie Deutsch takes over the reins from a 7lb claimer. Java Point won this last year and has been running well enough to go on the shortlist again while Le Cameleon is back over his best trip. Hidden Heroics has won a couple of small-field novice events but this is a much tougher assignment and Flagrant Delitiep was engaged in the 3.45 Wincanton yesterday.
