    Verdict

    There are only two runners in this, both trained by Paul Nicholls who had the winner in 2015 and again last year. Bagad Bihoue is four from four here and has won four of his five starts over fences. But he was tailed off last time at Cartmel and DIEGO DU CHARMIL, the choice of Sam Twiston-Davies, was a far superior hurdler who is receiving 10lb. He should beat his stablemate with a clear round.
