    Verdict

    Winning hurdler Just Minded hasn't shown much aptitude for fences so far and was beaten a long way when third at Catterick on New Year's Day. Bigpipenotobacee has more letters than numbers in his form figures and it would take a leap of faith to put trust in him. MINELLA TWEET completed a double on good ground in May but hasn't made the expected progress though did better in a stronger race at Kempton last time and that may be good enough. Phoeniciana has been reasonably consistent in bumpers and over hurdles without winning and makes her chasing debut, as does Romulus Du Dujon and neither would need to be world-beaters to make a successful start over the bigger obstacles.
