      Verdict

      Hint Of Mint bids for a course and distance hat-trick raised a further 7lb. Paddys Runner is upped 5lb for beating a subsequent winner at Wincanton in January but both of the above should still go well. Amour de Nuit makes his handicap debut over hurdles and may finish closer but WISHFULL DREAMING (NAP) gets the vote. The latter found life tough in a Listed handicap at Sandown last time but won a higher grade contest than this at Chepstow last year and winning partner Richard Johnson is back on board today.
