      Verdict

      The versatile and consistent ABRICOT DE L'OASIS, twice a winner over fences at this time last year, has reverted to hurdles in fine form having scored at Aintree and Huntingdon this campaign. He's been racing in high-level handicaps since his last success and can get back to winning ways. Fionn Mac Cul has won novice events at Taunton and Carlisle on heavy ground this year and there should be much more to come so he looks a major threat but Huehuecoytle has been a short-priced beaten favourite in three runs since landing a bumper here last March. Raise A Spark beat two rivals here in December but his jumping has since gone to pieces.
