      Verdict

      Paul Nicholls has struggled to find a race for Whiskey Lullaby, who never looked like winning switched to fences here 11 days ago. Blinkers are added to a tongue-tie today but That's A Given arrives here with plenty of chasing experience and Nikap and Fat Sam aren’t ruled out either. THE BEES KNEES was a winner over hurdles here last year. He’s not been disgraced in two runs over the larger obstacles and may be ready to open his account.
