Verdict

SAN BENEDETO is much the best of these over hurdles. Paul Nicholls’ five-year-old has won three times over timber and is the one to beat if running anywhere near his hurdles mark on his chasing debut. Rock Of Leon is rated 18lb lower than the selection but still looks next best as he also goes chasing for the first time. S For Estuary has won point-to-points but has been well beaten in hunter chases including a fifth here last time when Court Painter unseated.
