Verdict

SO THEY TELL ME stepped up on previous chasing efforts tackling a handicap for the first time in this sphere when third at Navan and remains potentially on a handy mark on hurdles form. Onethreefivenotout has made a frustrating start for current connections but is a player if his jumping holds up, while the unexposed Savante must be considered under a penalty given how much she had in hand at Navan on Saturday.
