    Verdict

    Camachoice won a handicap hurdle at Southwell in October and is penalised for that success back in novice company. Countersign is less than consistent but went close over course and distance in September while Quebec beat lower rated opposition than this in a seller at Exeter last month. Larmor never threatened in a maiden hurdle despite finishing second and HASSLE was a long way behind the winner when third at Newbury. But the latter still beat a subsequent winner and the Henderson charge gets the vote on the strength of that form.
