      Verdict

      The front-running Bertie Blake has won his last two here over hurdles and starts off over fences on a fair mark. If he takes to the larger obstacles, he could take some pegging back again but MISS ZIP came good over course and distance earlier this month and should be capable of coping with an 8lb rise. Detatched was second over hurdles at Warwick last month and should enjoy the switch to chasing as he’s already won a point.
