      Verdict

      Sir Mark Prescott would be a very rare visitor here so the presence of Whatawit, who is related to two winning bumpers, is intriguing. Borodale is another interesting newcomer being a half-brother to three winning bumpers but CRYSTAL MER sets the standard with a much better run than expected in a Listed contest at Cheltenham. Asta La Pasta attracted support on his debut here on Boxing Day and wasn't beaten far while Ilestdancingspirit's debut effort at Huntingdon looked as though it would do him good.
