Verdict

Nicky Henderson puts up 3lb claimer Peter Carberry to help negate Jack Frost's penalty and The Queen's Midnight Legend gelding should make a bold bid to extend his unbeaten record under Rules. He beat Father Edward at Ludlow on his hurdles bow and the runner-up went on to run well in a hot novice event at Doncaster last week. Foryourinformation was last of four here on his hurdling debut but not beaten far behind three useful novices and he's open to plenty of improvement. VALUE AT RISK's third in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown in April is smart form and he can make a winning start over timber for Dan Skelton as Monbeg Gold is bred to be a chaser while softer going would have suited Hexham bumper winner Vayland.
