    Verdict

    MEDINAS has a very decent record first-time up and could be the value against At Fishers Cross. Alan King's charge was second in this last year behind Tidal Bay and can reverse World Hurdle form with Rebecca Curtis' stayer, who will find the ground faster than ideal and will likely be a short price. Cole Harden showed improved form stepping up to 3m at Aintree in April, finishing second in a Grade 1 novice event. He's only a five-year-old so is no forlorn hope here if fully wound-up.
