Verdict
MARQUIS OF CARABAS looks a notch above these and can defy a penalty for an earlier success at Warwick. Supply And Demand should be sharper for a recent outing at Newton Abbot and looks next best of those with hurdling experience. Kafella and Mortens Leam have been placed in bumpers and make their hurdling debuts while Report To Base and Champion Chase have form in point-to-points and are others to note on their debut under Rules.
