    Verdict

    Only a couple make any appeal. Double Court, who won on faster going over hurdles here back in September, is 12lb higher than when last successful over fences and NAUTICAL TWILIGHT is preferred. The latter scored over course and distance before running out of steam when third over a longer trip here last time - Neil King’s charge looks worth another chance. The remainder are harder to fancy on recent form though Ramore Will has won off a higher mark over timber in the past.
