        Verdict

        Royal Mile is just 4lb higher than when successful at Chepstow in October and his last two poor efforts have been over hurdles. He should get into the shake-up but COOL CASCADE may have his measure. Lawney Hill's mare, a winner over timber last July, was making her chasing debut when runner-up to Sustainability at Fontwell last month and that experience can enable her to take this. The Good Guy ran a shocker at Chepstow last time but the five-times hurdles winner is on a very low mark over fences and looks a threat. Gleannacreim has had little experience over fences but has shown potential and looks best of the remainder.
