Verdict

MISTER HYDE has won twice over hurdles and was upside the winner when coming to grief in a novices' handicap chase at Market Rasen on his latest start. There's more to come from Jonjo O'Neill's six-year-old and he can open his account over the larger obstacles here. On Trend was a decent novice hurdler last season and should make a chaser, while Kaituna is also worth a second look as she was quite highly tried after winning over timber at Ludlow in March. The others may be best watched returning from a break.
