      Verdict

      Three of these are penalised having already won over hurdles. Boldbob and Sikandar scored at Cartmel and Bangor respectively but both finished down the field in the same race at Market Rasen last month. Testing ground may have been against both on that occasion while SIR CHAUVELIN also failed to cope in heavy going at Doncaster last time in a Grade 2 hurdle. But Jim Goldie's charge had won over track and trip before that so gets the nod back on a faster surface. The remaining pair look up against it, though Magic Dancer was a decent handicapper on the Flat and is preferred to Pointillism.
