Verdict

DOUBLE POWERFUL ran a cracker in an ultra-competitive handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival when last seen in August and is worth siding with back chasing in a much easier race. Glen To Glen has posted 2 good efforts over fences since joining Nick Scholfield, including a win, and may provide the chief threat if over his exertions over hurdles at Chepstow on Saturday.

1	Reappeared with a good third of 20 in listed handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival in August. Completed only once from 3 starts over fences this time last year but this looks a good opening for him if his jumping holds up. 1st Pick 1 Double Powerful (Ire) Jockey: Richie Mclernon Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Richie Mclernon T: Neil Mulholland	100	-	-	-	72%

3	Fairly useful hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien. Made winning start for current yard in novice handicap chase at Perth (2½m) in first-time cheekpieces in August. Backed it up with third at Worcester last month and went off too hard in blinkers back hurdling on Saturday. Cheekpieces return now. 2nd Pick 3 Glen To Glen (Ire) Jockey: Harry Reed Trainer: Nick Scholfield J: Harry Reed T: Nick Scholfield	99	-	-	-	12%

2	Useful over hurdles but not quite as good in this sphere, pulling up at Market Rasen when last seen in April. The stable's good form at present does provide hope, though. 3rd Pick 2 All The Glory Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Jonjo & A.J. O'neill J: Jonjo O'neill Jr. T: Jonjo & A.J. O'neill	99	-	-	-	19%
