Verdict

Cases can be made for each of the trio but the most persuasive is for HORS JEU, who is getting his act together over fences and pulled a long way clear with the winner when narrowly denied at Hereford a fortnight ago. He can make amends at the expense of Star of Affinity, who ran up to the pick of his hurdles form at Wincanton in November and should have more to offer in this discipline.

2	Getting his act together over fences and nearly won at Hereford (16f) a fortnight ago, edged out on the line and pulling a long way clear with the winner. Nudged up 3 lb for that near miss and provided he gets the trip, he's fancied to make amends. 1st Pick 2 Hors Jeu (Fr) Jockey: Richard Patrick Trainer: Clive Boultbee-Brooks J: Richard Patrick T: Clive Boultbee-Brooks	100	-	-	-	43%	Scratched

1	Built for chasing and made an encouraging start over fences when fourth at Chepstow in November. Ran up to the pick of his hurdles form when runner-up at Wincanton (15.7f) a fortnight later and this step back up in trip promises to suit returning from a break. 2nd Pick 1 Star Of Affinity (Ire) Jockey: Brendan Powell Trainer: Joe Tizzard J: Brendan Powell T: Joe Tizzard	98	-	-	-	90%

3	Winning pointer with an all-or-nothing record, springing a surprise on chase/handicap debut in 4-runner event at Huntingdon (20/1) 18 days ago, hanging left in the run-in. That form doesn't have much substance and she's worth taking on here. 3rd Pick 3 Where's Cato (Ire) Jockey: Conor Ring Trainer: Evan Williams J: Conor Ring T: Evan Williams	96	-	-	-	36%
