Verdict

Bumper winner CRACK OPS hit the line with a bit of purpose on his Catterick hurdling debut and looks sure to build on that effort now fitted with first-time cheekpieces, so he's put forward as the answer. Planters Punch was always holding on from a subsequent winner on his debut at Hereford in November and is respected under a penalty, while Molly's Lad also needs considering despite being turned over at a short price at Carlisle last time.
