      Verdict

      What Happens Now ran up a sequence over fences in the autumn before suffering injury problems, but his return to action at Worcester last month was less than encouraging, so preference is for STRONG RESEMBLANCE who stepped up significantly on his debut performance when finishing second over course and distance last month. Whispering Affair has been well beaten in two hurdle outings and is best watched for the time being, as are Mathayus and All My Friends Say who was pulled up on his hurdles debut. Monarch's Glory has some useful point-to-point form and can make the frame.
