Verdict

SOMEKINDOFSTAR has now won two of his three starts over fences, having scored by a wide margin at Leicester earlier this month. He has a hike in the weights to contend with but there looks more to come. Eragon De Chanay is more exposed but has slipped down the weights and finished runner-up at Fontwell last month while Do Wanna Know finished ahead of Rock On Rocco when fifth in a tougher contest at Huntingdon recently. The Newest One has failed to win over hurdles and makes his chasing bow.
