      Verdict

      Time And Again has been getting closer and was only headed on the run-in at Fontwell last time when second to Detroit Blues. But PAOLOZZI (NAP) has the greater scope and won his bumper at Worcester last summer following a break. He was third to Festival winner Moon Racer at Cheltenham in October and would win this if translating that form to hurdles. Trainer Seamus Durack also runs Bangor third Bletchley Castle while Cochinillo is an interesting recruit but neither Bleu Et Or nor Wildmoor Boy look anything special.
