      Verdict

      Antony doesn’t look the force of old and is better over fences. It’s a long time since Wicked Willy got his head in front and FORT DENISON (NAP) has more scope. He’s only had five runs over hurdles and has been running quite well on the Flat since returning from a break. Macho Mover only won a seller at Newton Abbot but Midnight Aurora is back on a winning mark, though has become very hard to predict.
