Verdict

Huntingdon third Guanciale won over hurdles in November but is still chasing a first victory over fences at the ninth attempt. Evan Williams has won this twice in the last five years so it could pay to take a chance on SUBLIME TALENT (NAP). Suited by sharp tracks, the top weight is 7lb lower than when last successful two years ago and Conor Ring takes off a further 5lb. All But Grey was second on his belated chasing bow at Chepstow and is lightly raced so could be capable of better but Sunny Ledgend usually finds at least one too good and Carhue Princess has never won anywhere but Towcester.
