      Verdict

      Kerstino Two can complete his hat-trick here at the expense of Lizzie Bathwick and Fluff 'n' Puff. The latter is a course and distance winner and could be the one to chase the selection home, whilst doubtful stayer Lizzie Bathwick must also overcome a very disappointing recent spin over hurdles at Uttoxeter if she is to have any say in this contest. It would be a major surprise if any of the others runners proved good enough to trouble the first three in the market. The dynamic duo of Kerstino Two and jockey Mr J Snowden has proved formidable on two regulation Chase runs, and with his front-running style and fine jumping a true asset, Kerstino Two can chalk up his third win of the season.
