      Verdict

      Plenty of jumps debutants to throw in to this affair, with a handful of experience over obstacles to split between those with outings. Empire Seeker hasn't shown too much on either the flat or over jumps so far, whilst poor flat performer Swirl Tango along with Quahadi and Top Smart who have shown little in bumpers are others to dismiss. Musical Script has won on the flat seven times but six of those wins came on the artificial and he is unexposed over this sort of trip. Gary Moore has a reasonable record here but Mut'Ab hasn't been with the trainer very long, after moving from Clive Brittain. Gtaab returned from a two year absence with a relatively weak effort at Ascot last month and 52-rated flat performer Querido makes a first start over jumps. BEAUBRAV gets the tentative call with the yard having a 22% record at this course with runners over timber. Although there were mistakes in jumping during the pick's last run here, he managed to get third and can benefit from that experience to take this race. Addwaitya has the services of Richard Johnson and is likely to get involved as he should handle the trip and ground and has two bids over hurdles to build upon.
