    Verdict

    Fushe Jo hasn't been at his best of late including when pulled-up at Cheltenham on his latest start. Jumping fences for the first time here may bring some improvement, but Catch Bob makes more appeal dropping back in trip after being placed over 2m4f on his last two starts. LIGHTENING ROD won a bumper on the all-weather in December and was in the process of running a big race on his chasing debut here when falling at the last fence. Mick Easterby's charge looks worthy of another chance today, with Humbel Ben looking best of the remainder.
