        Verdict

        CHURCH FIELD opened his account over timber with victory at Newton Abbot a week ago. He looks up to defying a 7lb penalty with AP McCoy taking over the reins today. Bob's Legend has a shout on October's sixth over track and trip given he's slipped 8lb down the weights since then and Kayalar's best effort so far came over these obstacles in a maiden race. Eightfold finished third here last season but Fairy Alisha has the more recent form with a placed effort at Towcester while Honey Of A Kitten will need to step up on his previous efforts over hurdles to figure.
