    Verdict

    Lord Caprio won this last year though finished well behind Silkstone over track and trip recently. That was the latter’s first win over hurdles in 22 attempts but BASHFUL was having only his fifth start over timber when scoring at Uttoxeter. There looks more to come from Iain Jardine’s charge and he can go in again. Telhimlisten was still beaten along way when runner-up in maiden company at Musselburgh and makes his handicap debut.
