Verdict

A competitive event that may go the way of TWIST OF FATECATCH who ran well on handicap debut at this course last year and may be able to capitalise on his falling mark. There wasn't much to separate Noble Blue and Gasmani at Taunton last time, with both expected to go well again.

8	Fontwell maiden hurdle winner who ran well on his only previous start here and shaped as though ready for a step back up in trip when fourth of 8 at Wincanton (21f) last time. Looks interesting off a handy mark. 1st Pick 8 Twist Of Fatecatch (Fr) Jockey: Dylan Johnston Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Dylan Johnston T: Neil Mulholland	100	-	-	-	8%	12/1

5	Having been shaping up well for new connections, he notched a belated first success when seeing off Gasmani by a length at Taunton last time, and the way he travelled on that occasion suggests there could be more to come. 2nd Pick 5 Noble Blue (Fr) Jockey: Mr Joshua Newman Trainer: Kayley Woollacott J: Mr Joshua Newman T: Kayley Woollacott	99	-	-	-	25%	3/1

1	Got off the mark over hurdles at Taunton in April and posted an even better effort when chasing home Noble Blue there last time. Low-mileage 7-y-o receives a healthy pull at the weights with that rival here and needs considering. 3rd Pick 1 Gasmani (Ire) Jockey: Jonathan Burke Trainer: David Dennis J: Jonathan Burke T: David Dennis	98	-	-	-	15%	6/1
