    Verdict

    Subsequent events have shown that Deadly Approach ran well on debut here behind Holly Bush Henry and he could be the danger to YOUNEVERCALL if he settles a little better today. But Kim Bailey's charge is taken to make amends for a last-flight fall at Huntingdon in November, where he was in front and going well. Muthabir ran his best race so far over hurdles at Huntingdon last month but The Last Bar needs more and Flat winner First Sargeant is best watched having his first start over timber.
