      Verdict

      Fitandproperjob couldn't quite peg back Peachey Moment at Sedgefield last week but this step up in trip is a worry. Giant O Murchu was entered at Huntingdon yesterday while Le Grand Chene appears to be going backwards but Prince Des Marais ran well for a long way at Market Rasen nine days ago and shouldn't be ignored. DECIMUS made a winning return to chasing at Fontwell last month and would have been a more convincing winner but for idling when hitting in the front. He still has something to learn about jumping fences but should follow up here with a clear round.
