      Verdict

      An open contest but GRIPPER has made the frame here the last twice and may be able to find a breakthrough win over hurdles off this unchanged mark, from which he receives a real chunk of weight from leading rivals. The drop to 2m is an interesting move and he could benefit from arriving off a fast pace. Three Castles is interesting back over timber after a half a dozen runs on the Flat and money for him would probably be significant. Follow Your Fire was a tad disappointing this month but his generally consistency puts him in contention along with Darkest Day, who's gone well on both starts for his new stable. Sarvi doesn't win often but is an each-way player.
