      Verdict

      Just five runners here and You Do The Math looks the best option, The Hardy Boy will be a tough opponent and Present M'lord looks the best of the others. Alan King's seven-year-old is making his chase debut this afternoon and should be spot on following a couple of solid efforts in January over the smaller obstacles. He will have been well schooled and should be capable of giving away the weight. The Hardy Boy comes here chasing a four timer following three wins in modest company. He should run his race again and will be a tough nut to crack. Present M'lord pulled up last time out but had some decent enough form last season and should get into the action. The rest make little appeal and so we return to You Do The Math as the likely winner.
