      Verdict

      NYANZA has to give plenty of weight to her four rivals but should have the class to prevail. She beat subsequent Grade 2 winner Intense Tango at Aintree in December and has been campaigned at a high level since. Bella has been racing over further and may not have the pace for this while Maid Of Tuscany hasn't been seen since finishing third at Leicester on heavy going in November. Magic Magnolia has had already had nine runs over hurdles and isn't improving but Stoneham has been in good form on the Flat lately and could figure, despite being 4lb wrong in the weights.
