      Verdict

      A poor bumper in which it will be difficult to oppose Great Reason with both Artic Ben and Dew Drop Inn worth noting in the betting market The selection comes from the Nicky Henderson yard which have a great strike rate in these races. The field is small due to the quick ground conditions but Great Reason would have to be no world beater to land this on his debut so the market will be the best guide. Artic Ben comes from another yard that does well in these races and at this track so is to be noted. As is Dew Drop Inn who is the only horse in the race with any real worth while form. But for the winner we return to Great Reason.
