      Verdict

      Brazos is making his chasing debut at an advanced age but none of the others can be ruled out in a competitive handicap. Haldon Hill has won twice at Ffos Las this term and Diegos Way has enjoyed some success in trips across the Irish Sea this season. Garincha got back to winning ways at Fontwell but had to work harder than expected. Mumbo Jumbo is still a maiden but definitely has a future over fences though has to give 10lb to the progressive ART DECO, who beat a subsequent winner at Fontwell in January.
