        Verdict

        True Beauty is chosen in the finale, with Candello and Golden Law also worthy of note. The last two come from stables that can get them ready first time and the market should be closely noted. However, we opt for True Beauty, who shaped very well on her Newcastle debut in January, finishing fifth despite the testing conditions. She had her stablemate and favourite for the race, Heckley Clare Glen behind, so connections will have been pleasantly surprised. On this better ground, and with the returning Tony Dobbin on board, she should improve enough to take the beating. Nicky Henderson has a tremendous record in bumpers, as does Paul Webber, just like his father before him, and it would be no surprise if either bustled up the selection. There can only be one winner though, so we return to the slightly more experienced True Beauty as the answer.
