      Verdict

      Leg Lock Luke is proving very expensive to follow but shouldn't be far away in a race like this after a pipe-opener over hurdles at Exeter. Royal Chief's record over fences leaves much to be desired while Mrsrobin has gone off the boil but there are possibilities about the returning Bredon Hill Lad. GENEROUS CHIEF last won over fences in May of last year and is still 14lb higher but Daniel Hiskett's claim should aid his cause and this is his grade.
