    Verdict

    Dashing Bach, Midnight Spirit and MILTON DES BIEFFES are on the shortlist here with the consistent Milton des Bieffes the selection. Twice runner-up in novice events, Dashing Bach has the able assistance of Richard Johnson, and the partnership has done well previously. After an unsuccessful attempt over fences last time, Dashing Bach looks a major threat back over hurdles. Midnight Spirit is still a maiden, and he would appreciate any drying out of the ground as his best efforts have come on a faster surface. He has hinted at a good effort recently and he can reach the frame. Milton des Bieffes races off a 16lb higher mark over fences, and reverts to the smaller obstacles having won three chases this year. It is over two years since his last hurdles win, but he is in good heart just now, and Milton des Bieffes can profit from an attractive mark.
