        Verdict

        For Good Measure, a son of King's Theatre out of an Hernando mare, is very well bred for a race of this nature and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning start. But this looks a decent bumper with ex-pointers Desertmore Hill and Kerisper likely to well under Rules. Catwalk Babe was sent off favourite at Huntingdon one her debut and is probably capable of better and a couple of previous winners try to defy penalties. NATIVE DISPLAY only beat one home when starting favourite at the Punchestown Festival last year but made no mistake at Lingfield in December, despite meeting trouble in-running. He can outpace January's easy course and distance winner Armchair Theatre.
